I’m sure you all have memories of your Mother. Some Mothers are still living. Wonderful! Some of you are Mothers. Great! Some of your Mothers are no longer living, but they live in your hearts. I miss my Mom but I’m happy for the times that I had with her.

One of my favorite memories is about my mother waiting for me after school. Our farmhouse porch had a swing and we sat there to talk. I told her about my day, and she listened. Sometimes we talked for 5 minutes. Sometimes for half hour or more. I always appreciated the time she took with me. It was our special time together. It was a break in our day.

But we always talked through our differences. Then we understood and forgave each other.
Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.” (WEB)
I’m sure you all have your own memories of your mother. God Bless our mothers.
