Word Wednesday

Today is officially “Word Wednesday” otherwise known as “Hump Day.” We’ve made it half way through yet another week on the wonderful, exciting and bumpy road of motherhood. Therefore, some of us are looking for some encouraging words to make it through the rest of the week with Joy and Peace. At night before my son goes to bed, in addition to reading bible stories, I read him a passage out of Prayers That Avail Much, First Blessings for Your Child by Germaine Copeland. Mommies we have to keep our children prayed up and constantly put Gods Word in their hearts.

Yesterday’s passage read, “I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you, (your child’s name), with much joy and peace while you trust in Him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit. I thank Father God for His Son, born to us for our salvation.” As we all know, on next Friday we will celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! Words cannot even begin to express how thankful and blessed I feel to know that Jesus died so that we can live. As the passage above states, “…His Son, born to us for our salvation.” Jesus became sin so that we could live for all of eternity and enjoy a blessed and abundant life. He became sin so that we could become the righteousness of God. “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

At this time of the year people are constantly saying, “Don’t forget the reason for the season.” Although, many people still seem to get caught up in the gifts, decorations, shopping, food, and partying. As parents, it is our duty to make sure that our children understand the TRUE meaning of Christmas. We must also do our part to share the love of Jesus with those that have not yet received salvation. Will you all stand with Saved M.O.M. this Christmas and share the love of Jesus with someone in an effort to lead them into the eternal and abundant life that we have?

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for more words of encouragement and inspiration for M.O.M.’s near and far! Please share this blog with as many people as you know (www.savedmom.com), we have so many lives to touch.
