This one's for "mamas" all over the world. Now you may BE a mama or be RELATED to one--and I THINK that means us all, so don't tune out 'til I'm done talking....doesn't that sound JUST like a Mama...grin!

It's been said, "Ain't Mama happy; ain't NOBODY happy!" - and keeping Mama happy is a lifelong job for the Lord, for Mama, and for the people with whom she lives and works. Now we know that no one else is responsible for our OWN happiness but ourselves, so ya'll can listen in while I talk to Mama--and to me too! Mama's in a talkin' mood, so hang on!

There are times when the "madness of life" gets to Mama--she's got kid crises, computer crackups, health hassles, family feuds, job jumbles--you name it, Mama has it, hassles it and tries to handle it! What to do? I've got some hints for you--and me--hang on till I pick up the clutter, clean up the kitchen, drive around the town, shut off the dryer, turn over the mattress, and turn on the brain...only a Mama can relate to that one!

Lifelong Lesson #1: Mama, Move NOT! - when you're upset and frustrated, "Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10)." There's a place where we can and MUST reach out to our Heavenly Father in prayer and renew our strength through His Word. It will keep us sane, safe and saint-like--if we let it!

Lifelong Lesson #2: Mama, Move OVER! - when you need to talk to someone, find a good friend to "sit alongside of you," to listen and love you, give you a hug and let you know you're not alone. Friends are important--now, don't DUMP on them--but share with one another. It helps when another knows, understands and prays for us!

Lifelong Lesson #3: Mama, Move ON! - when you're at your wit's end, find something funny in the circumstance (you might have to dig for that one!), go get a cup of coffee or a CHOCOLATE sundae----and just KEEP GOING. Let it all go to the Lord first, then reach out to face your day and what God has in store for you....HE'S waiting to help, love, guide and lift you up THIS day.

Believe it, Mama, and have a wonderful hassle-free, heaven-sent Mother's Day, with all best wishes from Peggie's Place, "the most fun, frantic, faith-building home for Mamas on the Web!"

Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word

Proverbs 31:10-31 - The Proverbs 31 Woman

Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day

"Lord, sometimes I sure don't feel like that Proverbs 31 woman. No way, except by YOUR strength will I get through this day, this week, this year. You know the stresses, the hurts, the impossible situations, the concerns. I give them ALL to you--and rise in YOUR Name to serve the loved ones You've given me. Thank You for being my serving Partner today! In Jesus' Name, Amen."
