Scriptures for Mother's Day
1 Peter 3:4 - You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
Proverbs 31:10-12 - A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm all the days of her life.
Proverbs 31:25-31 - She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed;her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things,but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 14:1 - The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
Isaiah 66:13 - As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Psalm 147:11 - The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.
