Motherhood

Motherhood

“My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior” (Luke 1:46-47). Those were the first few words of a song that Mary sang when she was pregnant with her Baby, Jesus. I find it fascinating that God made sure this motherly melody was recorded in Scripture. I tend to think that the Lord takes extra notice when mothers sing and pray, because, well, nobody loves quite like mom. So whether you’re expecting like Mary was, or your kids are grown—or somewhere in between—always remember that God is listening, and He loves you more than you love your children. Now here are my three oldest boys—Caleb, Noah and Joshua—to sign us off, “Now that’s something to pray about! Love you, Mom!”
