Welcome the New Year
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.—Revelation 22:13 (NIV)
When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.—John 19:26–27 (NIV)
John is the only Gospel writer who recorded Jesus’ mother at the cross. One can only imagine the level of her pain and suffering. Jesus turned to John and said, “Take care of her.” Today, on Mother’s Day, may God bless and take care of mothers everywhere.
Dear God, I pray in gratitude to all mothers and caring women who have lovingly raised children.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.—Revelation 22:13 (NIV)

Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.—Luke 2:14 (NIV)

And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.—Luke 2:7 (NIV)
