A Mother's Day Question for the Mothers: What Do You See (In Your Chirdren)? (234 hits)
John 2 (New Living Translation)
John 2 The Wedding at Cana 1 The next day[a] there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. 3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5 But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons.[b] 7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, 8 he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. 10 “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
11 This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
Amazing what Mary saw in Jesus so what are you seeing in your children? God Bless the Mothers and may we always remember not just Mary (the Mother of Jesus), but all the mothers all over the world on this coming Mother's Day!

That's awesome and I'd say kudos go out to you for a job well done especially in this day and age where anything goes so as long as its about me, myself, and I. It seems to me that as technology grows, people are less and less loving --- so for your kids to have compassion is something big!
