Happy Mothering Sunday

Today is being observed all over the Anglican Communion as the Mothering Sunday.

A day set aside to honour women and mothers both at home and in Israel

What better language can we use today to describe our Mothers, Wives, Sisters and Aunties if not that given by the Holy Spirit Himself as recorded in Proverbs Chapter Number 31 from verse number 10

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil

She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life

She seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands

She is like the merchants' ship, she bringeth her food from afar

She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens

She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands, she planteth a vineyard

She girdeth her loins with strength and strengtheneth her arms

She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; her candle goeth not out by night

She layeth her hands to the spindle; and her hands hold the distaff

She stretcheth out her hands to the poor; yea she reacheth her hands to the needy

She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet

She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the Elders of the land

She maketh fine linen and selleth it and delivereth girdles unto the merchant

Strength and honour are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come

She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindnes

She looketh well to the ways of  her household and eateth not the bread of idleness

Her children arise up and call her blessed, her husband also and he praiseth her

Many daughters have done virtuously but thou excellest them all

Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised

Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates

May the good Lord continue to bless the virtuous women in our lives starting with my Lady - ObyJerry Oguzie, my Sister Lolo EudyMark - KenWuche and all the others too numerous to mention.

Happy Mothering Sunday
