Bible verses about mothers and other encouraging quotes
Children of all ages have a special place in their hearts for their mothers. You’ll see it in small toddlers who say, “Hey, Mom! Watch this!” and big athletes who say, “Hi, Mom!” during nationally televised events.
Kids of all ages appreciate a thumbs-up from Mom. A mother’s work might seem unfruitful at times, and outcomes aren’t evident right away. However, with persistent prayer, God’s blessings can prevail in time:

A mother’s love endures
"You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around and why his parents will always wave back."– William D. Tammeus
Most moms experience mixed emotions during life’s milestone moments: A baby’s first steps. A child’s first day at school. A boy’s first bike ride. A teen’s first time behind the wheel. A graduate’s first apartment. The newlyweds’ first home.
Every independent step involves a little more “letting go.” You may feel pride, joy, worry, and a little sadness … sometimes all at once. A special mother-child bond remains through any age or season. It models your love for your family and God’s tender love for His children:
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
