10 Bible Verses to Honor Mom on Mother’s Day
1.) Proverbs 31:10-12 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. *
Children, give your mother examples of how she has blessed you by being the woman described in this passage.
2.) Proverbs 31:26-31 “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many woman do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive , and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. *
Has your mother always been there for you? Supported you through life’s ups and downs? This is the verse to begin your tribute to her steadfastness.
3.) 2 Kings 4:30 But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.*
Were you a difficult child recently or when you were younger. This verse is a great introduction to a heartfelt apology for your ‘foolish behavior.
4.) Proverbs 10:1 A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.*
Tell your mother how she taught you empathy by modeling God’s love with her own gentle, giving spirit.
5.) Isaiah 66:13 “As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” *
Would your mother be thrilled to know you are proud to be her daughter, and hope to be ‘just like her’? This verse says it all.
6.) Ezekiel 16:44 ‘Everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this one about you: “Like mother like daughter.”’ *
Let your mother know you are honored to be made by God through her.
7.) Psalm 139:13 for you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.*
Let someone know they are honored as John honored Jesus by caring for his mother. This is the perfect verse for stepmother’s or grandmothers who share your home.
8.) John 19:26-27 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.” *
Is mom far away on this special day?
9.) Genesis 31:49b “May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other.” *
Finally , a few verses that offer a blessing, just in time for Mother’s Day and your “World’s greatest Mom.”
10.) Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”*

Charles Ramsey is a hero. He doesn’t wear a suit of high-tech armor. He doesn’t wear a cape. He’s just an ordinary guy,living an ordinary life.
Then, he saw a woman asking for help.
And he helped her.
He didn’t walk away.
He didn’t think of himself.
He just helped her.
It took less than a day for someone to make this heroic man into a joke.
As proud as Charles Ramsey makes me to be a human, those people make me ashamed.
No, he doesn’t speak perfectly.
No, he didn’t take the time to fix his hair before he went on camera.
He’s an African American man from an economically depressed neighborhood, city, and state.
And for that, he’s mocked and ridiculed.
It breaks my heart.
Now, in yet another heroic moment Mr. Ramsey’s response to Anderson Cooper’s inquiry about a possible reward Charles has proven he’s truly worthy of the hero mantle.
No, no, no. Bro, I’m a Christian, an American, and just like you. We bleed same blood, put our pants on the same way. It’s just that you got to put that – being a coward, and I don’t want to get in nobody’s business. You got to put that away for a minute…I tell you what you do, give [the reward] to them. Because if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway. Just went picked it up, paycheck. What that address say? […] 2203 Seymour. Where are them girls living? Right next door to this paycheck. So yes, take that reward and give it to—that little girl[.]
Thank you Charles Ramsey.
Thank you.
