A MOTHER’S LOVE by Rev. Don Rivers
RACING WITH JESUS MINISTRIES |
Easter
always reminds me of the love Mary had for her son,
Jesus. I think about the challenging position she
held in His life. I am sure she was chosen for her
strength and willingness to walk the difficult road
with her son to the cross. Even in his dying moments
Jesus didn’t forget his mother’s love. Greetings in
the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Have

us have estranged relationships with our mothers but
we still need to recognize the fact that without
them we wouldn't be here. Good, bad or indifferent
matters not; we all have been given the gift of life
through our mother. Scripture instructs us to honor
our parents....Full
