And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
"So.... am I Your mother?" I asked, a bit mischievously, but delighted that He might think so. To my great joy -- perfect reply -- I sensed a big bear hug from within. "Mother... sister... daughter... wife...," I laughed. "My goodness, our relationship is complicated."
A wonderful Mother's Day to all Jesus' many relatives out there! It brings Him great joy when we not only hear the word of God but put it into action.
