Beatitudes for Blessed Mothers

The writer of Proverbs wrote about the virtuous woman, “Her children rise up and call her blessed” (Proverbs 31:28). Several years ago, a ministry assistant in another location, Sheree Steward, helped me pen some “Beatitudes for Blessed Mothers” (I’ve adapted and updated).

             Blessed is the mother who:

                          *Knows the value of a dandelion

                 *Bakes cookies for no special occasion

                 *Doesn’t need a chauffeur’s license to be one

                 *Never runs out of hugs

                 *Is never too busy to “read, Mommy!”

                 *Can help mend a broken heart

                 *Loves to watch “Frozen” over and over

                 *Shares treats with neighbor kids

                 *Makes a big deal out of preschool art work

                 *Patiently sits through Saturday after Saturday of soccer

                 *Always has time and an ear ready to listen

                 *Challenges her kids to do their best, but isn’t pushy

                 *Knows when to let go but doesn’t go far

                 *Is only a phone call or Facetime away

                 *Teaches her children the importance of people over things

                 *Has her family in church every week  

           Moms, we love you and honor you! Happy Mother’s Day!
