Thought For Today

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to Him (Jesus) with her sons, and kneeling before Him she asked Him for something. And He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to Him, “Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left, in Your kingdom.” Matthew 20:20, 21

Lord we might say, ‘What a gutsy lady. Who did she think she was wanting these privileges for her sons. After all who were they that they should be given such a special privilege.’ To that I would say,…..’It’s a mom thing. We mothers want the best for our children. We have been given a very special gift from You Lord to want the very best for our children. I might have asked the very same thing for my son had I been there with You. Even today I continually pray for Your protection and blessing upon his life. Am I any different than this mother…. I really don’t think so.”

Thank You for the gift of motherhood.

Thank You for the love that You place within us to share.

Thank You for helping us have compassion for others as we pray for their children and their desires.

And …..thank You for fathers that love their children as much as mothers and are often the mothers that many children do not have.

Thank You that You are always with us in all our walks of life to bring comfort and cheer. Oh how we thank You.

Thank You Lord.
