It’s Your Mother That Matters!

There were times while I was growing up that I wanted to spend the night at a friend’s house and, while there, would be extra special and kind to my friend’s mother. I wanted to be on my best behaviour. Have there been times when you’ve been at a friend’s house and you were extra good? I wonder if we work as hard to be as kind to our own mothers?

Ephesians 6:2,”Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;” (KJV)

My mother taught me that any time I am a guest in someone’s home that I should put forth extra effort to make my stay enjoyable to them. I would help clean up after myself and clear the table after dinner, I would help my friends with any chores they had, etc. My daughter, Lady Jess, really knows her way around a kitchen and every time she’s with her friend she goes out of her way to help cook dinner and clean up afterwards. Her friend’s mother tells her how much she appreciates her help. My daughter adores their family and always goes out of her way to take extra special care of her friend and her mother while in their home.

While all of this is very good and appreciated by any mother, what matters most is YOUR mother. I am pleased to know that Lady Jess does this for her friend and her mother, I am glad that she also does these things for me. Do you go the extra mile for your mother? We’d love to hear what you do for your mom. Please do leave a reply and share your ideas on how you make your mom feel that she matters most.
