The Un-trodden Way

As you read about "The Heroes Of The Faith" 1 Hebrews 11, you notice that there are women listed as well as men. Some were leaders, but some were just... "MOTHERS." Mothers play a distinct role in the family of God. They are special in His sight. What unseen difficulties line the long, dark mile of the un-trodden way? And, oh, how our heart hesitates to venture on into the uncertainty of the unproven. But, Mother will help guide us through. Allow me to share a poem with you that was written about Mothers.

M-O-T-H-E-R (A WORD THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME)

I've been around the world, you bet, but never went to school.
Hard knocks are all I seem to get, perhaps I've been a fool;
But still, some educated folks, supposed to be so swell,
Would fail if they were called upon a simple word to spell.
Now if you'd like to put me to the test,
There's one dear name that I can spell the best!

"M" is for million things she gave me.
"O" means only that she's growing old.
"T" is for the tears she shed for me.
"H" is for her heart of purest gold.
"E" is for her eyes with love-light shining.
"R" means right and right she'll always be.

Put them all together they spell MOTHER,
a word that means the world to me.

When I was but a baby, long before I learned to walk,
While laying in my cradle, I would try my best to talk;
It wasn't long before I spoke and all the neighbors heard,
My folks were very proud of me for "MOTHER" was the word
Although I'll never lay a claim to fame,
I'm satisfied that I can spell the name:

"M" is for the mercy she possesses.
"O" means that I owe her all I own.
"T" is for her tender, sweet caresses.
"H" is for her hands that made a home.
"E" means everything she's done to help me.
"R" means real and regular, you see.

Put them all together they spell MOTHER,
a word that means the world to me.

Yes, where would we be without our mothers? they love us even when we are bad, they "kiss" the hurts away, and comfort us when we are scared. They discipline us so we will grow to be wise, and do it with no thought of reward.

That is why MOTHERS are special to God. Before you leave today, bless one of the church mother's. give them a hug, and tell them thanks for being there.
