Women are vessels of life. Without women there is no life on this earth...we would not exist. I used to send an email out to my co-workers at my previous job every year for Mothers Day Weekend. I made a point of it.
Churches and heavy duty bible toters emphasize that men are lord over their wives. That women must be subservient and humble themselves - regardless of how a husband treats them. I biblically disagree with this stance.
Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her...
Parts of the bible say one thing, while another part shows something else. There is a lot of contrast when looking at relationships within the family. Common sense tells you whatever feels right is "right." It does not feel right to be overbearing and abusive. It feels right to love and cherish.
My momma was strong, educated, loving and inspiring. She is the one most influential woman in my life. Due to this I am a stable man today in the world. She instilled values and the knowledge of God being in my life. She set my direction and pointed out the way for me.
As a wife she was hard working and loving as well. Too bad my daddy couldn't "get it together" before their marriage fell apart. She tolerated many years of nonsense from him. He finally became a great man that I admired at the end of his life. They should have been together.
That is why I am against a woman staying in a bad relationship. I was involved in my parents lives and had to witness bad things. I had to enforce reason with my daddy one night to prevent him from hurting my momma. That was the end of their marriage.
Other women are not so lucky. They end up on a slab at the Medical Examiners facility. They become victims in the worst way. They pay for other peoples standards with their lives. I support life and love and happiness.
Happy Mothers Day to all of the women who read this message. If you have been blessed with a good husband, I am happy for you. If your husband can become good, I am happy for you. If you need to get some peace, only you can make that decision.
God bless you.
