A word about Mothers as we move away from Mother's Day; happy Mothers' Day - one day late. Shared by Shirley Choat (in part):
 
"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."
---Proverbs 31: 10
 
MOTHER
 
When wounded by sadness, mothers were designed with the ability to heal. 
Their wounds would be cleansed by the tears God placed within them. 
These would be stored to be released in times of hurt or sadness.
Sometimes in times of joy, tears would also be released when words would be
inadequate to express the emotions of their hearts.

Mothers were designed with a "built in alarm" to warn them of impending
danger to their little ones. This would work all through their life. God gave
 Mothers the ability to warn their Children of the many"perils of life" and
to pray for the safety and protection of their offspring. 

The heart of a Mother was designed with great love and to have a desire to care
 for those God would give her. Her arms were made to hold and comfort a
crying child. They were made to wipe the tears from the eyes of a toddler or
 surround a frightened child with the warmth and security only a Mom can bring.

Mothers were made to teach their children to love God and their fellow man. 
 They were to understand that their children were not the first who would
 made mistakes. God's first creation also made mistakes, and therefore,
"all have sinned and come short of the glory" of God.

Mothers would not always be perfect, but they were given Biblical
instruction to strive for perfection and become all God intended, as they
obeyed their Heavenly Father. God desired them to follow Him
and obey his Words of life. He would be their Father and lead them
 in the right way and path.

God sent Jesus as a better covenant, salvation, and way for life. His  plan
centers on loving God first with all our heart, soul, and mind, and our
 neighbor as ourselves. 
This was God's will for everyone, not just for Mothers.
