This Mother's Day, Celebrate the Infinite Joys and Blessings of Being a Mom

Why do I say that? He said every child is a gift from God, so God has chosen you to be a mother. It is a decision that God made. No matter the circumstances, he still made the decision for you to be a mother.

So I pray that in the pressures and the stresses that life can bring, my mom having eight kids and me being the seventh child, I see the cooking that needs to be done and all those things, and I understand those challenges that make you think, how could this be such a great blessing that brings me joy and happiness all the time? That is what the word blessing means. It is a blessing because you're investing in someone's life so that someone could be like me and someone could be like many people around this world, around this country that is serving God or are doing great jobs in the secular community, that is doing great jobs making an impact in their community. They had a mom that raised them, that invested into their lives, so you are making an investment and that investment, God says, has earthly blessing and heavenly blessing.

It says this in First Timothy chapter 2 verse 15, but women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in fake love sanctity with selfish strength. You are blessed on earth and in heaven because you chose to be a mother, and I pray that as you continue to nurture the baby, continue to raise your children, and continue to go through the pressures of trying to make them all, you could see them having the potential to be. Understand that the investment you're making leads to an eternal blessing that God uses to sanctify your life.

Be blessed and stay focused.
