Mom Will Take Care of It
There is a story that is told of a fifteen-year-old boy who came home from school one day and found his mother sick in bed. In an attempt to sound compassionate he said to her, “Don’t worry about dinner, mom. I’ll be happy to carry you down to the stove.”
Mom is in Control.
In most God-fearing homes, I dare say, no one is taken for granted more than the mother. According to God’s design she is to be the keeper of the home – a good manager of the household (Titus 2:5). Yet, in many instances, this honorable position seems to be a never ending, thankless and unappreciated job – after all, whatever we need, “mom will take care of it.”
The father may be the head of the household, but the mother is definitely the backbone. She is the glue that keeps the family bonded together. Her worth as a godly wife and mother “is far above rubies” (Prov. 31:10). Let us therefore honor her and those like her (Eph. 6:2-3).
