We typically honor our mothers with roses on Mother’s Day. The rose symbolizes love and heartfelt gratitude. Today, let’s honor Manoah’s wife with a bouquet of beautiful roses for her example of motherhood.
Known throughout the Bible as “Manoah’s wife,” another phrase can be used to describe this lovely lady: She was “Samson’s mother.” This gentle woman lived her life in the shadow of two men—her husband, Manoah, and her famous son, Samson, a judge of God’s people and the strongest man who ever lived. Being a wife and mother appears to have been enough for her happiness and fulfillment.
Aren’t you glad the Bible paints such a positive picture of parenting? From it we learn these divine truths about being a mom:
Have a blessed and happy Mother’s Day!
If you’re a mom, your calling is a high and noble one, a momentous stewardship as God entrusts precious children—His special creations—to you!
God, thank You for the women of the Bible and for the one You chose to bring Your beloved Son into this world. Thank You for their example of love and obedience to You. I know that You can do anything through me if I will obey and trust You. Amen.

Memorial Day heralds the beginning of summer. To students, it begins the countdown to summer vacation. Often summer schedules are hectic with family members going in every direction for sports, camps, social activities, or college preparation. Don’t let your summer get away from you!
The best way you can help lead your family is to make sure you are growing spiritually. This growth will give you the wisdom and strength you need for leading your children in the faith. You can make this happen by regular time reading the Bible (2 Timothy 3:17), finding role models to emulate (Proverbs 27:17), avoiding influences and situations where you will be tempted (1 Corinthians 15:33, 2 Timothy 2.22), and choosing to abide in Christ in order to bear fruit (John 15:1-8).
No matter what you do with each day or in your life, doing anything God’s way is a matter of the heart. Whether it’s deciding how to spend your money or your time, how you treat people, how you dress, or how you accomplish your work, your choices reveal the treasure of your heart.
