10 Biblical Verses that Give Thanks and Praise to Moms on Mother's Day

If you're like me, you know that sometimes it can be kind of tough to find an appropriate Bible verse for a Mother's Day card or letter. After all, it's not like you can just open up your Bible software on your computer and search for the word "mother" and come up with something really great. Maybe you've tried it before, and discovered that there are maybe only one or two search results that are even suitable! So here are some scriptures I've gathered together to help you out.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
