Pastor's article 05-11-25

Mothers play a significant role in our lives. Often, from childhood girls exhibit a natural inclination to care for others, which is evident when they play with baby dolls. They tend to these dolls, rock them, and carry them around easily. This nurturing behavior can be observed throughout their lives. For instance, one of my granddaughters once asked me to hold her baby doll, which I agreed to do. I pretended the doll bit me and dropped it, which upset her. She quickly took the doll back and refused to let me hold it again, clearly displeased with my actions. 
God has given women a natural desire to love, protect and nurture the children that are born into this world. He knows that there is one thing that people who are born into such a hostile world need, and it is an opportunity to experience being valued, loved and nurtured. I am thankful for all the mothers in our church, and especially thankful that God gave me a loving mother. I am also thankful for a wife who has made it one of her greatest priorities to be a godly mother to our daughters and a godly grandmother to our grandchildren. The first love most people have known is the love of their mothers. Thank you, women, not only for loving your children but also for loving all children with a heart that exemplifies the love of God.
