Mother

Father as I think about this Mother’s Day Week end, there are four women, mothers, who have had extraordinarily significant influence to in my life.

First, Eve, the mother of all who live.

Genesis 3:20 (NLT)
     Then the man—Adam—named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live.

Second, Mary the mother of the Lord of life.

Luke 1:42-43 (NLT)
     Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, “….. ⁴³ Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should visit me?

Third, Lela Frankie Stanfill Slaven, my mother, who gave me life.

Fourth, Wanda Dill Slaven, who is the mother of our four children and gave them life.

Father, thank you for these women who were uniquely fashioned by you and have made my life possible and purposeful. And I thank you Father that on Mother’s Day we may once again acknowledge the virtue and value you place on motherhood.

For our Mothers we give you thanks in Jesus name. 

Amen
