On Mother’s Day

Featured ~ Lisa Brittain

We rejoice with she who rejoices.

We weep with she who weeps.

We pray blessings on all the women who have battled hard in their prayers to have a child, and for all who graciously adopted another woman’s child.

We give thanks for moms who have won victories through tears on their knees, and those whose prayers were answered differently. We validate your rent hearts, shattered dreams and grief. And we offer a place for you to share your story because we see you brave.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We hug you with affirmations and say ‘Well done, Mom!” because we know you’ll never believe you did enough. You see yourself lacking and wish you knew then what you know now. But you forget often that you were chosen to be the one for them and now. You forget how much you are cherished.

We applaud you Mom for all the times you cheered a little too loudly on the sidelines. You know we could hear you. And no matter the distance or the task at hand, we still hear you cheering us on.

Thank you for being a momma under the care of the Good Shepherd. You’ve exemplified the way of love, care, generosity and steadfastness that causes young ones to look up, reach out, and emulate what you’ve taught.

We’re grateful Good Shepherd that you promise to care tenderly for our Mom. She’s a good one so please guard her heart and hold her close. We’re counting on your promises.

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭46‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Have a beautiful Mother’s Day as you live love brightly,

Lisa

Something to ponder with Jesus:

What qualities of your mom do you admire most?

Looking back, why did God choose your mom to guide and nurture you?

Give thanks, no matter your relationship with your mom, that she gave you life.

Applaud a mom today. Tell her she’s doing a good job. Value what is good. Offer to help where you see a need.

I am a curious follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received miraculous healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I received a challenge to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by my fearful living choices. It was my two sons, who loved me enough to confront me with the truth. They called out the hypocrisy of fear, and I am forever thankful. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. Years ago, with my eyes open to my sin of unbelief I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. God has been faithful to teach me, grow me up, and help me to let go of all the things that used to mean security to me. My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall in love with Jesus through His word; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 36 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have helped to grow two young men, who are now married with their own families. God is continuing to help them write their own faith stories. Additionally, we share our home with an old rescue pup. I look forward to having you join me here to fix our eyes on Jesus and shine with His radiance, Lisa Psalm 34:5
