Isaiah 49.15.

Here's what the Lord said. Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child that she has born.

Though she may forget, I will not forget you. All of us owe a bit of gratitude to our mothers.

Children at a very early age are nurtured and loved and nourished by their mother's love.

Children feel such depth of love and gratitude for their mothers

that they feel so linked to mom in a very special way.

Just think about these big, powerful athletes.

And when the camera is pointed at them, what do they say? Hi, Mom. Always,

mom. Which remind me a story of a young boy who felt so indebted for his mother's love and he

wanted to do something special on Mother's Day. And so he went to the store. And there, the lady

behind the counter, and he said, I brought my pig bank here, and I want to spend all this

money to buy my mother a dress. And so the lady said, fine. Now, what is your mother's size?

I don't know.

She said, well, is she tall, is she short?

Is she big?

Is she small?

The boy said, she's perfect.

She's perfect.
