Mother’s Day Message - She Glorifies the Lord

At the end of the day, it doesn’t even matter if a Child is born of a virgin.

The Child born of a virgin, during a time far worse in receiving children out of wedlock than the time Kenni was born, had a future and a hope – a destiny to fulfill that would ultimately benefit Kenni and even me, also born out of wedlock.  The Child, born to a teen mother who was every bit as confused, embarrassed and possibly uncertain as Bee, grew up beyond the circumstances of His birth to save the world.  The virgin or mother of the Child had the privilege, like Bee with Kenni, of ushering Him to His destiny.

God entrusted Bee to care for Kenni properly, which gave her life more meaning.  By the same token, God entrusted Mary, the virgin, to care for His Son, which without question gave her life more meaning. 

Over the years I’ve addressed almost every aspect of motherhood for Mother’s Day.  This year I salute mothers like my friend Bee and children like Kenni.  In doing so, I am not endorsing having children out of wedlock but rather celebrating the fact that their lives have purpose, value and worth.  Isn’t that the true essence of motherhood?

Does that explain why God has placed a high value on motherhood in all of its forms?  I think so.  Happy Mother’s Day!
