Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 NIV
On Mothers Day we say how great our moms are, that they're perfect, always right, the best in the world and many other accolades, all of which are rightly deserved. Moms sacrifice so much every day. Yet we are still human and make mistakes, which I'm happy to say most kids will overlook for the love of their mom.
So if we give this effusive praise to earthly mothers (and to fathers on their day) who are human, how much more praise and accolades should we offer to our heavenly father who is truly perfect and without sin? He is holy. We are only made holy through his grace.
I know that as a mom I cannot do right by my children if I don't teach them to fear the Lord. To honor him first above all.
If I seek any praise in this life it is only that I led my children to the Lord.
