Is Mothers day

His mother told the servers, "Do whatever he tells you." - John 2:5

46.While Jesus was still talking to the crowds, his mother and brothers were standing outside. They wanted to talk to him. 47Someone told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside. They want to talk to you." 48He replied to the man speaking to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" 49Pointing with his hand at his disciples, he said, "Look, here are my mother and my brothers. 50Whoever does what my Father in heaven wants is my brother and sister and mother."
Matthew 12:46

It never ceases to amaze me how different each individual is.
My mother for example. She loves me verry veeery much.
I never saw any difference between my mom and dad
when I was growing up. They were AS ONE in every
sense biblically. I do not know for sure but I suspect
that this perspective is not shared by all.

So, the single parent family is a phrase
that has a slightly different meaning for me.

Worthless is a word that I heard
but had no idea what it meant until much later in life. I came
to find out that worthy has the idea of very valuable. I hope
that you will 'see' that a worthless stone on the ground although
valuable, is worthless to the untrained eye. It is only valued
by the miner who recognizes it as A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.

Jesus's mom always knew only what she had
experienced beforeand while she was carrying
Him in the womb. We were not told of too much
extra-ordinary stuff that happened during the
growing-up years. The 'miracles' were before
and at His birth...the angels, the wise men
the shepherds, the dreams etc.

....and now this story at the wedding....she confidently steps up and says
DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU....I would say she had a very good
attitude towards her son....wouldn't you?...

....in contrast...it seems that
in the second account by Matthew, where the SON asks
who is MY mother...?......it seems....well do you get a little uncomfortable
feeling here?....can you feel the love?....not really.....

There is no easy way to deal with this.....
for me it can mean only one thing
A lesson that is so hard for us to learn:

SUCCESSFUL PARENTING IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN
THE MOTHER, THE FATHER AND GOD BECOME ONE
AND THE SAME IN PURPOSE AND ESSENCE...
THE RESULT IS THE THING WE CALL
THE FAMILY....

Jesus said:
Whoever does what
my Father in heaven wants
is my brother and sister and mother."

Have a happy MOTHER'S
and father's day
Have a happy
FAMILY DAY.
