Beatitudes for Blessed Moms
The writer of Proverbs wrote about the virtuous woman, “Her children rise up and call her blessed” (Proverbs 31:28). Several years ago, a ministry assistant in another location, Sheree Steward, helped me pen some “Beatitudes for Blessed Mothers” (I’ve adapted and updated).
Blessed is the mother who:
*Knows the value of a dandelion
*Bakes cookies for no special occasion
*Doesn’t need a chauffeur’s license to be one
*Never runs out of hugs
*Is never too busy to “read, Mommy!”
*Can help mend a broken heart
*Loves to watch “Frozen” over and over
*Shares treats with neighbor kids
*Makes a big deal out of preschool art work
*Patiently sits through Saturday after Saturday of soccer
*Always has time and an ear ready to listen
*Challenges her kids to do their best, but isn’t pushy
*Knows when to let go but doesn’t go far
*Is only a phone call or Facetime away
*Teaches her children the importance of people over things
*Has her family in church every week
Moms, we love you and honor you! Happy Mother’s Day!
