As I meditated upon how Solomon said, “A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised” (Proverbs 31:30b, NIV), I am being reminded of how a God–fearing woman is to be praised by her children and her husband, yet a mother is very encouraged if her children stand up and say, “God bless you, Mom, for being such a blessing to us.” In response, she will smile to hear her husband say, “I love you. Other women might do good things, but you're the best!”
Truly, I see how the highest praise that any woman can receive is praise from God just as the apostle Peter said, “The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight” (1 Peter 3:4, NIV) as I did my weekend’s reading..
Mothers, do rejoice in the praise that comes from God.
Husbands and children, let’s praise God for Mom, and praise Mom in a way that echoes God’s own praise of her.
