Cherished, Set Apart, and Sacred

Moms, I hope you feel cherished, set apart, and tapped into the sacred after your Mom's Day yesterday. I hope many memories were made.

I'm not a mom yet, will hopefully change that soon, but cannot help but think about the blessing and sacred nature of motherhood. In fact, I can't think of anything more sacred in a woman's life than motherhood. Biblically speaking, we can come up with several things that show this is simply not the case. However, go with me for a moment and see what I mean.

A mother is entrusted to make the baby, form the baby, carry the baby, deliver the baby, feed the baby, and care for the baby. That's before the baby ever talks. Nobody else can do these things but the mom. Hence, it's sacred. It's a blessing. It's a wonder.

The whole pregnancy thing alone boggles my mind. How do our bodies know to do that? Everything you eat, drink, breathe, do, and say are all experienced directly by the baby. What a remarkable responsibility.

What a blessing motherhood is. It is something meant to be cherished, set apart, held sacred, and remembered.
