A mother’s time is one of the greatest gifts a child can receive. Every moment spent teaching, guiding, and comforting shapes their future. In a world that moves at a relentless pace, the time a mother invests in her child becomes a foundation of love, security, and faith, helping the child toward the best in life. These moments may seem ordinary, but they create memories and instil values that carry through life.
Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go, but even when he grows older, he will not abandon it” (NASB). A mother’s influence extends beyond childhood—her prayers, encouragement, and presence leave an imprint on the heart of her child, shaping their character and faith.
Cherish the time given to nurture, guide, and love. It is not wasted; it is an eternal investment that will bear fruit for generations to come.
