Mothers, Heaven Sent

We know little of the first 30 years of Jesus’s life. Since, God is God, he could have come into this world anyway he choose. For instance; God could have entered this world from a mountain top, walked to the river Jordan, been baptized by John and then began his ministry. Instead, God became man through a woman. God, the father, gave Jesus, his son, the gift of having a mother, the best mother that ever lived.

I am so very blessed. My mother was great, as was my grandmother. Then I have been blessed by watching my wife lovingly care for our children. I have also been surrounded by great mothers, including my daughter and daughter in-law, and many others. Mothers teach us how to love.

If you need a mother to teach you how to love, Jesus gives you his mother to be your spiritual mother. Hold her hand when you pray to her son. Feel her love. The Father’s gift to Jesus and Jesus’s gift to you.

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. John 19: 26-27
