No Regrets
Dear Judy, This month we honor our mothers. That opportunity is lost to me for now because Mom passed away. I do know my mom is walking the streets of gold in Heaven because she was a born-again Christian. I too am a born-again Christian so I know I shall see her again in Heaven, but how I regret not spending quality time more often with my mother. I miss her so much. This month I just want to encourage your readers that if their mom is still alive, make more time to really love her, listen to her stories, even if you've heard them a dozen times before. You will honor her...and have fewer regrets.
Dear No Regrets,
This is a great reminder to all of us who still have our mothers with us to honor them. This is a command from God in the Bible both Old and New testaments: Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you (Exodus 20:12); “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth (Ephesians 6:2-3). The word honor means to value or give high esteem.
How wonderful to know we will live together for eternity with our Christian loved ones. But for sure, we still miss them until then. Enjoy the memories of the times you had and do not focus on the time you did not have. Some of the readers may not have had a good mom, and I say to them to give your mom value because she brought you into this world. You are reading this article because of your mom. Value them for that and forgive the rest, whether she is still living or not. It is wise for us all to reread the scriptures above… Our life depends on it.
Thank you for reminding us to not get too busy for our moms now and honor her every day! If your mom is gone, find a mom who needs to be HONORED. We want NO REGRETS!
