A Godly Woman

12/7/2012

 
A friend of mine, after attending the funeral of a godly woman, wrote and said, "An ounce of Christian mother is worth a pound of preacher..."
I’d never heard this saying before. But as I reflected upon it, I believe it to be true. Preachers and pastors are not called to raise our children, but parents are.

No doubt, Motherhood is a genuine ministry and a God given calling. Raising one’s children to fear and respect the Lord, and to live a life that is pleasing to Him, is a worthy task. Not to mention a godly mother’s ministry of intercession, where day and night, she diligently prays for her children and family.

And motherhood can be a bittersweet experience as well. A child can bring his mom honor and joy, or shame and sadness. I brought my mother all these. But, truthfully, I gave her more sessions of sadness and pain, than happiness. I regret this. I’m sorry for the many wasted years when I lived in ignorance and rebellion, not knowing the Lord and His ways. It would be different now, however.

D.B.
