Psalm 86:16 - Thank you for my mom

Turn to me and have mercy on me;
     show your strength in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
     just as my mother did.

Reading through the Psalms, there is a lot of similar sounding text. When something is different, it grabs my attention. I loved the last phrase of the verse above, "just as my mother did." Did your mom serve God? Mine does. She is a wonderful example of how to live a Godly life of service. In this season of Thanksgiving, I would like to thank God for my mom. I serve God "just as my mother did".

Lord, thank you for my mother, a servant of Christ. Please help me to serve you just as she does. Amen.
