Love is the only thing in this world that lasts

This weekend is Mother's Day, a day set aside to commemorate mothers.  It is the day that sells more greeting cards than any other day of the year, the day when flower shops are running around in circles to deliver the beautiful tributes to mothers.  It is good to recognize mothers, in fact, the Bible instructs us to "honor … mothers".  They are true heroes every day.
Dr. Mom has healed physical problems like the "ouchies and boo-boos" of childhood, and the teenage love sickness as well.  She seemed to always on duty 24/7.  Mothers are God's gift to us.  By the same token children are a blessing to Moms, "children are a gift from God". It is a two-way street Mom's love children, children love Moms. Also don't forget the other gifts God has given children, like grandparents who have open arms, and listening ears, who bake cookies and seem to have time for you when others are busy.  There are also Moms of the heart who are not your Moms by birth but who play an important part in our lives.  The love of God is the only thing in this world that is eternal, the love of Mom's is the only thing that lasts in this world.  So tell Mom you love her those 3 little words will last a lifetime.
