| Happy Mom Monday AND Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day..................... To honor both of those, I looked up Martin Luther's King's mom, Alberta Christine Williams King. She was the mother of 3 children. She lost one to assasination and one to a drowning accident while she was yet living. She herself was assasinated 6 years after her son while playing the organ in her church, the church pastored by her father, her husband and then her son, by a man who said, "All Christians are my enemies."
While he was still living, Martin Luther King Jr. said this about his mom: " She was behind the scenes setting forth those motherly cares, the lack of which leaves a missing link in life."
If you are prone to think that your "motherly cares" mean nothing, I encourage you to accept the truth given in the above quote. There is a HUGE LACK, A MISSING LINK, if we as moms DO NOT set forth those "motherly cares." May we take great pride today in all the ways we care for and serve our children. In fact, may we do as Martin Luther King Jr. said ( I believe to a janitor) : "Do your work so well that no one could do it better. Do it so well that all the hosts of Heaven and Earth will have to say: Here lived a man who did his job as if God Almighty called him at this particular time in history to do it." Remember Jesus' words: "Whoever wants to become Great among you must be your SERVANT." Mark 10:43 May we care for our children so well BECAUSE God Almighty DID call us at this particular time in history to become GREAT by serving, loving, caring for and giving up our lives for the sake of our children. Blessings from Bombadil. .......hopefullly the home of not too many "Missing Links"...Kristy Link "I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me." Phillipians 1:25 & 26 |
