Put Mom on a pedestal

With today being Mother’s Day here in the United States, take this opportunity to consider the vital importance of motherhood in building a strong, stable society. According to biblical commands, mothers should be highly honored for the tremendous role they play in our families. The Fifth Commandment includes God’s command to honor your mother (Exodus 20:12). In 1 Peter 3:7, the Apostle Peter tells husbands to give honor to the wife.

Remember—and not only on Mother’s Day—to put Mom on a pedestal. Her God-given role is most praiseworthy and exalted, most beautiful and honorable.
