Mothers, Sons and Faith

 

I wonder how many sleepless nights she endured
Or how much her hands trembled when placing her baby boy in treacherous waters or maybe they didn't because of her sacred bond with God.

I am starting to understand that single mothers like Musa's and Isa's were divinely strengthened so they don't feel "sad" or  "afraid".

The irony that the same waters that took Musa towards Pharoah were the same waters that eventually drowned him and were miraculously parted to get Musa to safety

Through the stories of Musa and Isa, I see how it's the mothers that God first blesses with faith before they can raise faithful, honorable men

How beautiful that God comforts Maryam during her painful labor and Musa's mother after she is seperated from her baby boy by saying the same words " Don't grieve".

God's promise to a distraught and anxious mother that He will reunite her with her Musa to comfort her heart and to Maryam that she will be leader of the women of faith
Maybe a lesson to learn that a woman's honor only comes from her relationship with the Divine

May we have the strength,  courage and faith of these mothers to raise men with the strength,courage and faith of Musa and Isa

Both sons of single mothers ....
