Beatitudes for Mothers

I read this today and want to share it with all of you. As a Mother myself this has reminded me of how much of an influence we are to our children. May we always seek to bring up our children to fear and love God. And never cease to diligently teach them to love God with all of their heart, soul, and strength.

Deuteronomy 6: [4-9]--"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."
