    As we honor Mother’s today, the one thing that stands out to me as the most divine attribute that God bestowed in women is that of a mother’s love. A mother’s love is nurturing, comforting, sacrificial, and unending.

    A Mother’s Love Proverbs 23:25 “Let your father and your mother be glad, and let her who bore you rejoice.” Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.” Three sons, who were very successful, ...read more
