In a day of women leaving their homes by the droves to pursue their own interests we are fast becoming a nation of not just the fatherless, but now the motherless. Many children who have been abandoned by their fathers have turned to crime, violence, addictions and sexual immorality. They are angry, suicidal, and despair of having any success in life.
I shudder to think what will happen to children who lack the nurturing influence of that mother who has decided to abandon her home and run after men half her age.
We now need mothers to rise up as well.
We need older women to help young mothers...married or single. We need homes open to countless of homeless teens or twenty-somethings who have no one to love them. We need women who will teach girls and young women how to cook, clean, and yes, sew on a button. We need women who will bake the cookies and pour the milk for the kids that come home to an empty house. We need women to put their arms around boys and tell him they have worth. We need women to come along side of other women who are forced to work countless hours to make ends meet and bring that loving encouragement when they feel they are neglecting their children.
We need ...
MOTHERS.
If you have never had a child go get one. If your children are adults use your experience to help bring another child into adulthood. If you have a house full already then what difference does one or two more make?
On this Mother's Day we will fill our churches in this nation and be honored. Enjoy your day, but as you do look around for that one whose mother is not present and let God use you to fill that empty soul that was left
MOTHERLESS.
