Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I have three people who play a role as a mother in my life, and I wish to honor all three in this one post. I recently heard the story of David Lloyd George. He was the British Prime minister from 1916-1922 and in his life he had many great accomplishments. The reason his story is relevant today is because of his mother's love for him. When David Lloyd George was a baby, his mother, while carrying him in her arms, got caught in a bad snow blizzard. The journey, combined with the weather, proved to be too much for this young mother to handle. The rescuers eventually found the lifeless mother's undressed body lying over her baby, who was wrapped in her cloths for protection. She assumably could have left her baby to save herself, but she chose to sacrifice her life for her baby's. I can't help but wonder what her last thoughts and last words were to her child as she slipped into unconsciousness... I would guess she was saying and thinking "I Love You!" That's what being a mother is all about, and I'm proud to have Mothers that love like this in my life. That's how we know what love is, that one would lay down their life for another (1 John 3:16 /John 15:13). So thanks should be to God for the gift of mothers...In His infinite wisdom He introduces us into this world in the arms of not only the one that will protect, provide, nurture, educate, and love us, but the one who will give her life for our well being. In fact, "her life" is often given daily. Thanks Revonda, Angela, and Mom! I love you all very much!
