Honor your Mother and your Father, which is the first commandment with a promise. Eph 6:2
Today we honor our Mothers; whether you are blessed to have your mom still in your life or carry her in your heart. She has loved us unconditionally, doing without, so her children could have more. She wears many hats; cook, maid, taxi driver, nurse, referee, an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. When a child is sick, who do they call for? Their mom!!
In Hosea 11, God is described as a mother who nurtures, takes care of, feeds, and protects her children. In Hosea 13, God is described as a mother bear, fighting to keep her cubs out of harm’s way.

When I think of the fruits of the spirit, Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, and Temperance, I think that describes our Mothers. Paul’s description of love in 1 Corinthians 13, also describes a Mother. “Love is patient, kind, not rude, is not self seeking and keeps no records of our wrong doing.” Does that sound like anyone you know?
When I think of the women at Summit, I see a Shunammite woman from 2 Kings who would fix a meal for guests when they came to visit. She even fixed a small room in her house with a bed, table and chair, and a lamp for the man of God to stay when he passed by because she saw a need and filled it. Solomon describes a wife of noble character as worth far more than rubies. She gets up while it is still dark to provide food for her family.
Brothers and Sisters, doesn’t that sound like the women of Summit? That’s why we honor our Mothers today. God bless you on your special day!!
She is clothed with strength and dignity
She can laugh at the days to come,
She speaks with wisdom
And faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her.
Proverbs 31:25-28
