A Good Woman

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
Proverbs 31:30 HCSB

A woman who fears the Lord is a woman who seeks His opinions and ways above her own freshly thoughts and reactions. When I choose to be emersed in the Lord this response to Him is automatic.

Today is Mother's Day. For some it will be a day of blessing, for others a day of trial. The important thing is, for me, to remove all expectation from family but to walk in grace.

The one mother who models motherhood to us is Mary, the mother of Jesue. Her son went into public ministry and once she visited Him and could not get it. The people told Him his mother and brothers were outside and He did not rush out but said: "who is my mother and brothers?Those who listen to me are my mother and brothers". This seemed to indicate there were issues in His own family. We know His brother's did not believe in Him but we also knew His mother knew of her role in life. Mary was at the cross and Jesus asked John intake care of her. He did recognise His role but He did not fuss over His mother.

Expectations of being fussed over are fueled by media. Don't fall for it. Go to God for an abundance of grace. Amen!
