Day of Praise

Th, 10/30/14, "Day of Praise"

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. -- John 19:26-27

It's a simple model. Jesus didn't let anythIng get in the way of making sure that his mother was cared for, not even his work, not even his work of saving the whole world, not even his work of savIng the whole world while he was in immeasurable pain on the cross.

Jesus loved his mother and made sure that she was provided for.

Jesus, who is God the Son, is our model.

Celebrate all the great things about your mother today and everyday, not just six months from now when Mother's Day rolls around again. Pray for your mother's needs each day. If possible, call your mom and chat and tell her you love her! And let's do our very best to make sure that the needs of our mothers are taken care of, just like Jesus did with Mary.

Hi, Mom, I love you!

Praise God!
