“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.” Exodus 20:12
On the second Sunday each May a day is set aside to celebrate mothers and to let them know how much they are valued by us. The author of Proverbs 31 describes such a woman, also a mother. We are told that her value is “far above jewels”. God assigns a high price for a good mom. Have you told the mothers in your life how much you value them?
