Week of May 9

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the mothers You have given to each of us. We thank You for their eyes, hands, feet and voice being used for Your purposes. May we always appreciate the hours they go without sleep to sit with us during sickness, the afternoon naps they miss in order to see us in sports events, the clothing they forego to insure we have required attire, the times to pamper themselves that they miss to get us to choir practices, and so much more. We thank You that our mothers have such love for You that they seek to instill Your teachings in each of us, and this is a gift of love. In Jesus’ name we pray.

Amen.

“She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.”
