1. Rebekah, A Marvelous Mother
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
Good wives and mothers are those who know they cannot do all things, and so they specialize in doing well what they can do to please their mates and benefit their children.
Nathan Ausabel tells of the Jewish couple with 9 children who went to the Rabbi to get a divorce. When the question of custody came up the wife said she wanted 5 of the children and he could have 4. The husband said, "Why should I have only 4? You take the 4 and I'll take the 5." In ...read more

2. Rebekah A Marvelous Mate And Mother
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
In almost every Mother's Day sermon I have ever preached one of the qualities that most stands out in the great mothers of the Bible is that they were first of all loving and loyal wives.

3. Hagar, A Mother Sees God
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
Hagar was an Egyptian servant girl in the house of Abraham and Sarah. She was a comparative nobody, but she became a somebody that God used to change history by her motherhood.
Sarah was the oldest mother in the Bible, and likely the oldest woman to ever have a baby. She was 90 years old when she gave birth to Isaac. This is not a record many are striving to match or break, so it is likely to stand for all time. Abraham is the father of Judaism, Islam and Christianity. ...read more

4. Rachel, A Winning Mother
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
History reveals that mothers who have died when their children were young, as Rachel did, can still have a powerful impact on their lives.
The problem with cliches is that we forget they are true and relevant because we have heard them so many times they have lost their cutting edge. "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," is a good example. It is so trite and trivial that it does not even invoke the response of a ...read more

5. Jochebed, A Great Mother
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.
Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say.

6. Bathsheba A Mother Who Made A Difference
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
You can bad-mouth her all you like, but God used this mother to change history in ways that no other mother has ever been used. God’s judgment is that being sexually assaulted does not make a woman a bad mother.
Everything you can say about mothers is true, no matter how good or how bad. But it is surprising when you discover that one who you thought was so bad turns out to be so good. Who would ever dream of holding up Bathsheba as an example of motherhood? Is she not the hussy who seduced David into ...read more

7. Sarah, The Mother Of Nations

8. Woman Of Tyre A Mother’s Faithand Dog Food
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
Jesus never complimented anyone in a higher way than her, and yet she was a nobody. She was not the wife of a great man, or the mother of outstanding children. We don't even know her name. Her only claim to fame was her faith, for it was great, and it was motivated by her love as a mother.
Lucy Webb Hayes was one of the greatest mothers to ever live in the White House. She was the wife of the 19th President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, who was elected in 1877.

Most women play two major roles in life, and they are being a wife and being a mother. In the role of wife she is to be submissive to her husband, and in the role of mother she is to be sovereign over her children
A young man went into a bookstore in Boston and asked the clerk if she had the book Man, The Master Of Women. The pretty salesgirl merely tossed her head and said, "You'll have to look for that in the fiction department." In the battle of the sexes modern women feel they are gaining ...read more

11. Proverbs Ideal Mother 2
Contributed on Mar 19, 2021
Every mother has her ideals pictured for her in Prov. 31. It is not an easy picture to examine because it makes the mothers feel that they have fallen so far short.
