Call Your Mama
Among the last items of business that Jesus took care of, even as He hung on the cross, was to make sure His mother would be cared for.
His mother’s life was turned upside down at His birth. She was there while He grew, changing His diapers and kissing His skinned knees. She worried when He was left behind in the temple. She tried to understand when He said, “I must be about my Father’s business.” For this reason, before Jesus said, “It is finished,” He looked at John and said, “Behold your mother.”
Jesus was His father’s son, but He was His mama’s boy. In the Bible, it seems as if He performed His first miracle to please His mama. Like Jesus, we should always try to please our mamas. Just like Mary, all mothers make great sacrifices for their children. Therefore, all mothers should be honored and loved by their children.
Call Your Mama
Here are a few ways that you should love your mother:
- Love her verbally. Tell her how much you love her.
- Love her physically. She needs and deserves your hugs.
- Love her patiently. Goodness knows she was patient with you.
- Love her with your ears. Remember all the times she stopped what she was doing to listen to you. Take the time to sit and listen to her.
- Love her generously. There is nothing too good for your mama. Remember all the sacrifices she made for you. Be generous with your love and money, but most of all, be generous with your time.
- Call Your Mama
It does not matter who you are, what you do, or how much money you make. If you honor your mother, she will be proud of you. Love your mother with all your heart. Love her so she appreciates all the time she invested in you. Be grateful for all the sacrifices she made for you. Remember, whoever you are, you owe a lifetime of love to your mother.
So, call your Mama!
Honor your father, and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12

From the Bible
“On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.
When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.”
