Very Special Life Role!

There are many roles that individuals may play throughout a lifetime that can be found to be connected with our life. Some of those roles may seem more important than others even though each may serve a very beneficial purpose. I would say that among the most special roles are those that relate to bringing life, enhancing it, and helping to sustain it.

In the midst of some discussion from Paul to the church at Corinth he made the following statement.

“(11) Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; (12) for as WOMAN was MADE FROM MAN, so MAN IS now BORN OF WOMAN. And ALL THINGS ARE FROM GOD.” ( 1 Corinthians 11:11-12 ESV)

First of all, let us keep in mind that God is the Creator of life. It all began with Him! He is the One who brought life into existence and set it all into motion. Then, from Adam’s side, God took one of his ribs ( Genesis 2:21-22) and made a woman as his suitable companion. Though God made woman from man and gave her to him, it is through woman -- the MOTHERS of this world -- that mankind has continued to be brought forth into this realm and the life of human existence has been sustained. This was God’s plan and the purpose in the design of His Creation. It is a very special God-given role MOTHERS play in this world.

Being a bringer of another life into this world is just the beginning of the many roles a MOTHER plays in the life of her children, some of which never end even after her children have grown. MOTHERS are chauffeurs and coachers, cleaners and counselors, disciplinarians and developers of character, healers and huggers, etc. MOTHERS have many awesome and glorious roles in the lives of their children that can impact not only for this life, but for an eternity to come.

Though today is marked on the calendar as “Mother’s Day”, let us be mindful of MOTHERS every day! MOTHERS need our prayers. MOTHERS need to know they are appreciated. Also remember there are some who did not bring another life into this world who are still fulfilling a MOTHER’S role to those with whom she has become connected for one reason or another. Thank God for all the selfless MOTHERS who have and are fulfilling the purpose He gave them.

Have a great day THANKING GOD FOR A MOTHER’S VARIED ROLES!
