The Mystical Power Of Mothers

From the beginning of time, God knew that He needed help to bring babies to this world. So He created mothers. He blessed them with special qualities that made them distinctively different from men. The warmth of a mother’s hand can energize a discouraged child. Her tender reassuring voice can magically ease any pain. She appears soft but stands like a rock in protecting her children.

At a wedding in Cana, Jesus was persuaded by His mother to perform His first miracle ahead of time. He turned the water into wine. It was the miracle that was not supposed to happen until the time was right. But God made that day the perfect time to make a heavenly declaration. It was not about the water turning into wine. It was about the mystical power of mothers.

Truly, there is something mystical about mothers. Many men and women who have attained greatness still find themselves in a predicament wherein a motherly advice is imperative. Even kings and queens, no matter how powerful they are, their glory can not escape the fact that they all came from a woman who carried them from conception to birth. A painful task that no man is capable of. It is indisputable. They will always be sons and daughters who humble themselves to vow to their mothers

It is amazing that motherhood also extend to God’s lower creations. In the late spring of 2006, I observed and photographed the human-like behavior of a mother goose. All through out the hatching period, rain or shine, she was on her nest fulfilling her motherly obligation. She stood her ground, and maintained her guard in protecting the eggs. She also displayed her parenting skill. She taught her goslings how to survive and prepared them to their eventual long distance flight.

To everyone out there who still have mothers, when was the last time you sincerely expressed your gratitude she highly deserve? Don’t wait too long. Do it while you can, when you can. But most of all do it while she is still strong enough to raise her arms in giving you her affectionate motherly hug as she whispers to your ears: “I love you child.
