Many walked away from the workplace in order to raise young children. Some totally relinquished a chosen career path. Most willingly forfeited at least some alone time to do whatever their big heart desired. And we all know why: they wanted to ensure that their children&#8217;s needs &#8211; and I would add, their husband&#8217;s needs &#8211; got met.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone else within the family routinely took precedence. Moms by God&#8217;s Design are selfless; even despite the Fall of mankind when all us became more skewed in the direction of egocentrism.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve often wondered if Jesus had invited just one woman to be a member of His elite inner circle of 12 disciples, if she would&#8217;ve echoed their self-serving bent. The Apostle Peter voiced what the rest all felt, <em>&#8220;What&#8217;s in it for me?&#8221; <\/em>Essentially he pled, <em>&#8220;Since I&#8217;m pouring a whole lot of my energy and resources into this Kingdom Plan of Yours, Jesus, I better get something in return.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t picture a mom even thinking this. But we&#8217;ll never know &#8211; this side of eternity. Nevertheless, please visit this Mother&#8217;s Day Sunday to learn what is in store for all those, men and women alike, who so faithfully serve the Lord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few folks anywhere would disagree that most moms everywhere give up a whole lot of personal stuff for the sake of their families.
