Mothers Day is almost here. I remember growing up, my mother and I did not have the best relationship in the world. I remember the beatings for no reason, all the physical and mental abuse I had to endure. I wasn’t the best son in the world either. But as time went by and I became an adult and I Christian one of the lessons I learned about was forgiveness. It was a hard lesson to learn. But I did and worked hard on getting closer with my mom. Because of health problems she was bed ridden the last three years of her life, during that time she came to accept Christ as her saviour. That was the best three years of both our life’s, when she died because of health complications I was devastated.

Then a few years back preaching a sermon I was talking to kids about respect, obeying their parents. During that sermon I made a statement trying to let kids know that I NEVER want them to have to ask this question.

If my mother where alive today would she be proud of me???

Make sure you call your mother tomorrow and tell her that you love and appreciate that she put home with us…:)
