First of all, thank you for being curious. Maybe you clicked this post for two reasons:
1. Because you want to know the reason why my mother is the best in the world.
2. Or you disagree with my title - because you believe your mother is the best in the world.
When I was still a kid (way before I entered school), I have this clear memory of my mother teaching me something while I was taking a bath (now you know why I need to emphasize that it was way before I started going to school). We were in our bathroom, I forgot my age. It was very clear. The lesson was clear and she taught it before I took a bath. I guess it was her day-off. She dipped her fingers on water and she said:
Me: (looking and waiting for Mama to pour the water over my head)
Mama: "In the Name of the Father, of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Ameeen! (with a celebratory note on the "Amen".
*Then she proceeds pouring water over my head and cleaning me up.
She did a sign of the cross on me. The lesson was not how to do the sign of the cross but about the FEAR OF THE LORD. Of course, I was too young to realize that lesson before but I understood something important. A lesson that remains true today (and for all Eternity). A lesson that a lot of people tried to disprove. One of the basics of living a Christ-centred life: BELIEVING THAT GOD EXISTS and I MUST FEAR HIM.
I can go all day honouring my mother and bragging about her to a lot of people and post a lot pictures about her but this lesson sums up why I am so blessed to have a mother like her and that is because she taught me how to fear the Lord as young as I was. I didn't know who God was. I didn't question his existence and asked my parents who God is. All I know is that my mother believes in Him so I might as well believe and now I'm reaping what she had sown in my heart.
This mother's day, I'm thankful about 3 things.
1. I have Mama as my mother.
2. She taught me to fear God as young as I was.
3. She still encourages me to live a God-centred life up until now.
Aside from them, I realized 4 things:
1. This is the primary character trait that I must look for in a woman: A woman who fears the Lord.
2. This is the first lesson that I will teach my future children: Fear of the Lord.
3. This is what I want my children to inherit from me: Faith in Jesus Christ.
4. Teaching the Fear of the Lord to young people is preparing them not just for life but most especially for Eternity.
Happy mother's day to all the mothers out there!
Dear Mama,
I love you so much. Thank you for not giving up on anyone of us. Thank you for teaching me this very important lesson. Thank you for answering my questions during our coffee time. Thank you for teaching me to make my own decisions and face the consequences of my decisions without totally leaving me.
