This Mother's Day I am reminded of how mothers so easily embody the self-sacrificing ideals of Christ. In church this morning we sang several songs that highlighted the price the Son of God paid to willingly be our savior. He gave up his throne in heaven. He took on human flesh and its limitations, even death. He gave himself to take on our sin when we were so undeserving. All this was motivated by love.
My own mother sacrificed so much for the sake of us kids. She worked hard. She put herself last when we need clothes. She shopped all day with us kids in tow and then came home to unload it all while at the same time preparing supper. Even now that we are all grown, she still gives sacrificially to us. And all because of love. Thanks. Happy Mothers Day.
