This weekend is Mother's day and depending on the relationship that you have with your mother will dictate how you feel about this holiday.
Interestingly enough, it is reported that Ann Jarvis, the promoter of the holiday here in United States ended up regretting the holiday that she helped to created because it became to commercialized - a "Hallmark holiday", she called it.
I agree with her, it is much too commercialized, too gut wrencing, too fake. Do you honor your mother according to the scripture? If you don't, then why bother to spend your Sunday afternoon waiting in an endless line for a table at a resturant you don't even like?
We are commanded to honor our mothers and fathers PERIOD. Yes, that means even if they were or still are a whore, a crackhead. Even if they left you behind for Granny or Auntie or the system to raise. God knew who your mother was when HE put you in her womb and you may never truly understand why he chose her. However to continue to question why or to just flat out say he made a mistake is a dangerous thing to do.
God will use whatever vessel suits him to get his will accomplished. He chose your mom as a vessel to get you on earth so that you can do his perfect will on the earth.
So whatever issuses you have with your Mom, the best gift that you can give her and yourself is to let it go. Trust that God knew who she was and knows the end of her story and the end of yours. Give him praise that he has a plan and a purpose for your life and once you get on track you will set the world on fire for HIM!
