"It Takes A Village"

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

John 19:25 NIV

As a parent, Never be ashamed of not being able to do it alone.

But thank God for everybody He has placed in your life to assist you.

It really does take a village of support when it comes to the upbringing of our children.

Even Mary (the mother of Jesus) needed support.  Though she was standing near THE CROSS in the final moments of her son's life, she STILL needed support. She wasn't standing there alone.

There, helping her stand, helping her be present in that "most heartbreaking" moment was her sister, and two other women (one of which was Mary Magdalene).

Jesus' mother had a small village of women around her, showing their love & support as Jesus breathed his last..

Why? Because a mother is a mother til' the end.

Therefore, If Mary got to where she was that day with the assistance of other women. Who are you to be ashamed of needing help?

Is your son or daughter greater than the child Mary carried in her womb? Is your son or daughter greater than Jesus?

I don't think so.

You are not superwoman, but you are a super woman, a super mom, but even super moms need help.

Remember; The bible says, Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up...

Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10 NIV

So, Today, Honor your village, those who have helped you get back up when you felt like quitting, those who have helped you stand. Honor the tribe the Lord has provided for you whether you are a single mom, a young mom, a married or widowed mom....

Show honor, show love, but don't forget to honor yourself, to show love towards yourself as well.

Cut yourself some slack.

Stop beating up on yourself.

You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

It really does take a village to get it all done.

#HappyMothersDay!!

Until Next Sunday.
