Yesterday seemed to end well honoring Kathy and our daughters who are moms. Everyone enjoyed the day with lots of laughter, fun and love. There is something most special about Mother’s Day. God sure knew what He was doing (as though He could ever not know) when He created woman to become MOM. Nothing can measure up to what a loving mom can mean to her children.

As I was reading my devotional this morning the theme of it was listening to Jesus. We always hear about the importance of praying to Jesus, praising Him and following Him, but this topic was solely on listening to Him. It’s scriptural reference was Luke 9:35 where Jesus took Peter, James and John to the mountain top where Christ was transformed right before their eyes. It was at this time God spoke to the three disciples telling them that Jesus was His beloved Son and to listen to Him.

Everyday I end my journaling asking Jesus what He wants me to know from Him for the day. Without fail, I hear a message from HIm. Do I always remember this is God’s Beloved Son speaking to me who is KING of kings and LORD of lords? No, I don’t. But today, as I read this devotional message, I went back to what Jesus had spoken to me and took special note of it. Never again do I want to take for granted that Jesus speaks to me. I want to give real reverence to Him and acknowledge each day’s message with critical importance!
