Today is Mothers' Day. We set aside this day each year to honor our mothers. Of course, the Bible tells us that we are to always honor our mothers and fathers and that doing so is, "the first commandment with promise," Ephesians 6:2. Paul goes on to say in verse three, "that it may be well with you and you may live long upon the earth." So we may conclude that it is not only right to honor our parents, but that it is to our advantage to do so.
Putting that duty of children aside, let us face the reality that some mothers have much to regret. The staggering statistic of aborted babies leaves in its wake countless women whose decision to terminate a pregnancy has forever haunted them. This is not to condone abortion, nor is it to accept abortion as a viable method of birth control; rather, it is to state to the heart engulfed in the anguish of this 'freedom to choose' that there is a place of forgiveness at the feet of Jesus.
Allow HIM to be your peace when you can find no place of peace. Be washed clean of the blood of your aborted child in the shed blood of the Holy Child Jesus.
