My Favorite Girl! (Mother’s Day)

Isaiah 49:15 (NIV) “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?...”

“I’ll always love my Mama – She’s my favorite girl!” Some of you may remember those lyrics that were sung by the Intruders (1973). They knew what they were singing about! The miraculous superpower of mothers is an inside job orchestrated by the God of Love Himself. Mothers behold the most enchanting affection for their children. Their heart ties have eternal roots that last forever after her children have gotten grown and have moved on to live on their own. And her children can be certain of this – on their days of good news, sickness, the blahs, emergencies, and out of sortness – their reminiscent thoughts of Mama’s snuggles and hugs, fresh baked pies, homemade costumes, rainy day popcorn and movie parties, and her softly spoken ‘I love you’ will always pacify them back to the warm and comforting assurance they will always have within them because of their mother’s everlasting love. “Happy Mother’s Day, to all Mamas. You’re our favorite girl, and we’ll always love you!!!”
