We have been given precious promises that God will assist us and guide us in our times of need.  We can be confident that god has planned ahead of this day to prepare us and the events of our day so we can live steadfastly.  We receive this gift from heaven; we are blessed to have and share our memories and our lives with the greatest blessing of all.

Allow me to take this opportunity to share how I see the blessings of a Mother.  As God assists us and guides us in our lives and through our times of need, we must take the opportunity to thank Him and to thank the Lady that God placed in our lives to instill the principles and standards in our lives to bring each of us the reassurance we all need.  Mom, thank you teaching me God's principles.  His standards do govern my life today.

I look around and see many lives on a pivoting point governed by the life of the most trusted person in their lives.  Mothers are God's Divine Assistants.  In our time of need we can call on our mother to help us in many ways:  To listen when we need to talk, to hold us when we need a hug, to be there to cheer us on when we have done well and to give us assurance that we are never alone.

Proverbs 3:13 says, "Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding,"

And Proverbs 1:5 says, "A wise man will hear and will increase learning and a man of understand shall attain unto wise counsels."

I learned to hear the wise counsel of my mother and even today when she notices or senses that I haven't shared everything with her, she will call upon me to share all my thoughts and all that is going on with my family.  I take that moment to thank God for giving me my mother and then another moment to share all that is going on.  God's "Divine Assistant" doesn't lack in love, understanding, concern, patience and the gift to share life.

God has blessed me many times.  Today, I pray that the blessings of the Lord will be upon the lives and hearts of each mother.

"Heavenly Father, I pray that each day we will continuously celebrate our gift from you, our Divine Assistant, our Mothers.  I pray that each person reading or listening to these words will be blessed and our hearts encouraged to know that we have the opportunity today to begin to share the love and life that is in us with the Lady God placed over our lives to help us, to watch over us as we grew up that today we celebrate with a grateful heart.  Help us to have an open heart to graciously give this same love and encouragement to each mother in our lives.  Father, thank you for my mother, the divine blessings she is to me.  In Jesus' name I pray.  Amen."
