special this weekend! It is wonderful to have a special day to honor them but according to God's word we are to honor them everyday! (Exodus 20:12 and Ephesians 6:1).This weekend we learned about a mother who listened to and obeyed God. In reward her son also listened to and obeyed God. The mother's name was Hannah. She could not have children and she wanted to have to children more than anything in the world. Until she listened and gave her desire to God she remained empty inside. When she listened to and obeyed God, He fulfilled the desire of her heart and gave to her a son. She named him, "Samuel, saying I asked of God".
Before Smauel came, Hannah made a promise to God that she would give her son back to God's purpose. She was faithful to keep that promise and God used Samuel to be speak for Him and choose great leaders for Israel. God also blessed Hannah with several other children.
What a beautiful example of a mother. We all have wonderful mothers but with busy, crazy lives it is not always easy to listen and obey God. We can honor our mothers by praying for them to listen and obey God, Obey them and Help them with chores or other responsibilities.
And when we honor our mothers, we honor God!
