Honor her for all that her hands have done.
—Proverbs 31:31
Last night, while perusing some files, I came across the names of several people who have significantly impacted my life. Some have held high-profile positions, while others have lived largely unknown.
A sudden realization gave me pause: I knew nothing about the mothers of most of those whose names I was seeing. I knew her offspring but didn’t know her. But had it not been for her, I wouldn’t have known them. There was a time when they would have died if she had neglected them for a single day.
Thank God, she answered Earth’s most influential calling—the calling of being a mother.
There are millions of fellow citizens.
There are thousands of politicians.
There are hundreds of teachers.
There are dozens of friends.
But there is only one mother.
Happy Mother’s Day
