Summary: A fitting tribute to our Christian Mothers and their true likeness to the aspects of God’s very own "Agape" love.

Mother’s, A Great gift from God

God’s free Gift

Deserving of Respect

Our Protectors in Innocence

Teacher’s of God to their Children

Let me start by wishing the mother’s a very “Happy Mother’s Day.”

How Moms Were Made

By the time the Lord made mothers, he was into the sixth day working overtime. An Angel appeared and said "why are you spending so much time on this one?" And the Lord answered and said, "have you read the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic; have 200 moveable parts, all replacable; run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold three children at one time and that disappears when she stands up; have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart; and have six pairs of hands."

The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. "Six pairs of hands! No Way!" said the Angel. The Lord replied, "Oh, it’s not the hands that are the problem. It’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!" "And that’s on the standard model?" the Angel asked. The Lord nodded in agreement, "Yep, one pair of eyes are to see through the closed door as she asks the children what they are doing even though she already knows. Another pair in the back of the head, are to see what she needs to know even though no one thinks she can. And the third pair are here in the front of her head. They are for looking at an errant child and saying that she understands and loves him or her without even saying a single word."

The Angel tried to stop the Lord. "This is too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." "But I can’t!" The Lord protested, "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger and can get a nine year old to stand in the shower."

The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, "But you have made her so soft, Lord." "She is soft," the Lord agreed,"but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?" Asked the Angel. The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate."

The Angel then noticed something and reached out and touched the woman’s cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak with this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one." "That’s not a leak." the Lord objected. "That’s a tear!" "What’s the tear for?" asked the Angel. The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her disappointment, her pain, her lonliness, her grief, and her pride."

The Angel was impressed. "You are a genious, Lord. You thought of everything for this one. You even created the tear!" The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said, "I’m afraid you are wrong again, my friend. I created the woman, but she created the tear!"

When we think back on our lives, we always think back to our mothers and the great things that they have done for us. They start by carrying us for nine months—possibly the longest term of bonding many of us will ever enjoy. They bare you through the pain and discomfort that accompany you through pregnancy—than nurse you, care for you, clean your nose, put on your diapers and later clothes, nourish you, place you in warm clothing and all the while love you. I think the selfless love of a mother is a close example of God’s “Agape” love for you and I. A love that places others, sometimes multiples of others above ourselves—and it is something that servants of Christ may learn from. Today we will look at some places in which God gives us clear direction from his word into his intended role of godly Christian mothers.

God’s Gift

God created the world in Genesis, then created man(Adam) and man names all the beasts of the field that God created. God then saw that man needed something to complete him, so he placed him in a deep sleep and created women from the rib of man. This was so that we would cling to one another as flesh of my flesh—becoming one.

Genesis 3

20The man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Each one of us are descendents of Adam and Eve, she was the mother of all people and races. I personally take comfort in this fact because if it were as the scientist claim, I would be looking to the animal kingdom for my ancestor—in the ape family.
