In the book of Genesis it tells us that we were created in God's image. God has more traits than we could ever know in this life. He did however give us a way to see what some of His traits are like. A mother's love, a father's discipline, a mother's caring nature, a father's protective nature, and so on. We can see a multitude of His qualitites through His creation. I wrote a poem for my mom for Mother's Day that is reflective of that parallel between our moms and our Father. Here goes:
The Greatest Gift
The greatest gift given us by God
Is a risen Savior and an empty tomb
This Gift was sent to us
Through a virgin mother’s womb
Faith, hope, and love are more
Great gifts from above
But the greatest of these gifts
He gave us is love
What has God sent to show us
That love is above every other
He sent us unconditional love
In the form of a mother
We’re made in His image
The Creator’s reflection
We learn of His love
By a mother’s hug and affection
Her kiss, her smile
Seem to be bathed in Son Light
She grew us into men and women
Teaching us wrong from right
He’s our Rock, our Shelter
Our protection from the storm
Her lap, her love
Always feeling safe and warm
God’s love is never ending
It goes on for an eternity
But to give us a glimpse of it
He sent a mother to you and to me

Don't forget your mothers on this Mother's Day!!
