A Reflection on ‘Relationship’ in the Context
of Liangmai Married Couples: A Christian
Perspective
L
M. Maisuangdibou, FFRRC, Kottayam, Kerala
iangmai is one of the indigenous
communities settled in North-Eastern part of India. They have rich traditional resources, history and social principles with wide range of ethical-moral
and human values. It is a patriarchal yet
an egalitarian society where a communitarian value and principle bind the
community since time immemorial.
Majority of Liangmais are Protestant
Christians with few Roman Catholics.
In the social system, like all the communities of the world, the ‘family’ is
considered as the basic social unit, and
‘marriage’ a sacred covenant between
wife and husband, therefore, there is
nothing such as contract marriage in
the community. In the family, both husband and wife play an important role
in building and structuring the family.
Moreover, children grow and develop
interest, values and practices by implicitly and explicitly copying their parents.
Looking at the present trend of Liangmai society, one can say that the Liangmai family is in the stage of shifting.
This is because of the new experience of
modern world with modern values and
teachings. Many Liangmai families are
well adjusted with the present situations
and changes. But many families are in a
state of dilemma not being able to rebuild their family. It is observed in general that couples’ relationship began in
exuberant promises. However, commit6
ments made with the best of intentions
turn sour and are either abandoned or
diminished. Here, it can be pointed out
that divorce is minimal in the Liangmai society, but, there are many broken
families due to breakdown of relationship between husband and wife mostly
as a result of cheating, misunderstanding, alcoholism of the husband and economic problems. Modernization and
globalization also play a vital role in
both building and dismantling of relationship in the Liangmai society.
Above all, it is worth mentioning that
in many Liangmai families, unequal
allocation of power, decision-making,
opportunities for growth, radical practice of patriarchal system by male folks,
assertion of individualism, spiritual
breakdown are witnessed as some of
the root causes of marital anger, unhappiness, conflict and divorce. Even midyear marriages break down due to transition in life such as baby birth, growing
up of the children and their demands,
children separated from parents due to
education or training or job.
Biblical Model of Relationship with
Special Reference to Ephesians 5: 2125
The Bible clearly delineates that the
purpose of God creating the whole universe is to have relationship. He created
all things to relate and communicate
April-May 2014
with Him as well as with one another.
He created human beings in his “likeness” (or in the “image of God” Gen
1: 26-27, and this “image” of God can
be best understood as relationship).
Again, the account of God’s election
of Israel as the light of the world was
to make them as the community that
transmits and relates God’s love to the
whole world. In the New Testament,
God’s redemption and reconciliation
in and through the person Jesus Christ
is the solid foundation of rebuilding
relationship between God and the
sinful world. Thus, Jesus came to this
world to rebuild the broken horizons/
verticals between God and all creations. Again, we can add a theological
model of “Trinity” as a perfect image
of relationship between God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Firstly let us emphasize on Eph 5: 2125. It begins with the household codes
presuppose that Christians should be
subjected themselves to one other. But
what does it mean to “be subjected”
or to “subordinate” to one another? In
the ancient world, women’s subordination and obedience to their husbands
was so universally accepted without
much question. And Paul the writer
of Ephesians was the child of his time
therefore we cannot expect something
modern/postmodern ideas from him.
He never experienced ‘democracy’ as
witnessed in the modern time, nor,
there was no strict or universal understanding of “human rights” as the people understand in the contemporary
world, nor modern understanding of
“fundamental rights” was absent, and
the idea of human “equality” during
his time was only within male-folks
and women, children and slaves were
not equal per se. In such context, the
pertinent question is: Was Paul breaking way from the conventional rules
and teachings of his time? In Galatians
he clearly says, “There is no longer
Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave
or free, there is no longer male or female; for all of you are one in Christ
Jesus” (Gal 3: 28, also compare Col 3:
11). It clearly depicts that Paul was a
man of his time; yet, he taught beyond
the conformist understanding that was
prevailing in his time, which means
many of his teachings are parallel to
many modern teachings.
Coming back to the passage, Paul outlines wives to subordinate to their husbands, as “husband is the head of wife”.
Here, Paul metaphorically used ‘head’
for an order of hierarchical subordination, which is related to I Corinth 11:
3, Eph 5: 23 where Christ position is
referred as ‘head’ of the church. This
is paradox as the ‘head’ washed his
disciples feet and even died for the
church/world. Similarly, Paul begins
the exhortation to husbands with “love
your wives,” but omit the conventional “never treat them harshly” found in
Col 3: 19. Instead, Paul develops the
body of Christ motif. For him, Christ’s
self-sacrifice is a model to be imitated (Eph 5: 2). Here, Paul speaks of
the church as the pure bride of Christ
(II Corinth 11: 2). This extended description of the church as a bride highlights what has been accomplished by
Christ’s self-giving love by dying on
the cross. This line thus answer to the
critical question – how does Christ
7
Kajinghiu-Karamhiu 2014
love the church. In likewise, husbands
should love their wives with similar devotion and commitment. This organic
relationship of Christ and the church
is fundamental. Thus, Paul calls for
mutual submission and service in such
passages as Gal 5: 13b and Phil 2: 3-4.
In fact, it is a call for selflessness and
a regard for others that does not insist
on one’s rights but follow the example
of Christ life. Here, Christ/Spirit-centred relationship is crucial to restore the
broken walls of families. Thus, it should
give life and help people to re-discover
and re-develop their unique personhood and relationship in the likeness
of the ‘divine’ (the mutual relationship
within the ‘Trinity’ is a role model).
Spiritually-centred life in the light of
‘respect’ and ‘love’ is thus central in order to reconcile any broken family in
the Liangmai society.
Critical Reflection
It is worth appropriating the biblical
passage (Eph 5: 21-25) by delineating
that a complete couple life is a ‘life’
where wife should respect her husband
and subject to him as the ‘head’ of the
family just as Christ is the head of the
church, likewise, husband should love
his wife just as Christ loves the church.
The critical equation is that if wife does
not respect her husband as her ‘head’
she cannot demand his true love. Moreover, husband cannot demand the genuine respect of his wife if he does not love
his wife like Christ loves the church.
The beauty here is that both the ‘respect’
of wife and ‘love’ of husband come only
in the model of Christ loves the church
and died for her. Here, a genuine de8
mand for husband is to sacrifice his life
and his interest for his wife. Reciprocally, wife should respect her husband as a
true church respect and worship Christ
in dedication, mission, evangelism and
praxis.
Conclusion
Every committed relationship is thus
based on an understanding of what
each person’s privileges and rights, obligations and duties are within that relationship. Practically, compromising our
self interest is crucial in relationship
building. Moreover, respecting partner’s
interest and any constructive discussions will help the family to grow better. Again, spending quality time with
our partner is critical in encountering
misunderstanding and lack of communication that is brought in the family by
the spirit of individualism. When families are broken, the society and church
can never function well. This is because
all the members of the church are the
“body of Christ” and if one member
is facing difficulty the whole body of
Christ (the church) is affected. In such
a context, the message of Paul in Ephesians 5: 21-25 is a great reminder as well
as a challenge for all Liangmai couples
to re-dedicate their life in building relationship in Christ and with one another
and with the whole world. It is the mission of our church and the society to actively participate in the reconstruction
of ‘relationship’ in married couples’ life.

Being Unique
Benthu Dailiam, Jalukie
A
water bearer had two large pots, each
hung on each end of a pole which he
carried across his neck. One of the pots
had a crack in it, and while the other
pot was perfect and always delivered a
full portion of water at the end of the
long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot carried only
half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one
end a half pot full of water in his master’s home. Of course, the perfect pot
was proud of its accomplishments. But
the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its
own imperfection, and miserable that
it was able to accomplish only half of
what it had been made to do. After two
years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer
one day by the stream. “I am ashamed
of myself, and I want to apologize to
you”. “Why?” asked the bearer. “What
are you ashamed of?” “I have been able,
for the past two years, to deliver only
half my load because this crack in my
side causes water to leak out all the way
back to your master’s house. Because of
my flaws you have to do all of this work
and you don’t get full value from your
efforts,” the pot said.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old
cracked pot, and in his compassion he
said, “As we return to the mater’s house I
want you to notice the beautiful flowers
along the path”. Indeed, as they went up
the hill, the old cracked pot took notice
of the sun warming the beautiful wild
flowers on the side of the path and this
cheered it some. But at the end of the
trail it still felt bad because it leaked half
of its load and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure.
The bearer said to the pot, “Did you
notice that there were flowers only on
your side of the path? That’s because I
have always known about your flaw and
I took advantage of it. I planted flower
seeds on your side of the path and everyday while we walk back from stream
you’ve watered them. For two years I
have been able to pick these beautiful
flowers to decorate my master’s table.
Without you being just the way you are
he would not have this beauty to grace
his house”.
Moral: Do not underestimate yourself
by comparing yourself with others. It’s
our differences that make us beautiful.
Your flaw has purposes.

A letter to Liangmai Christian Fellowship,
Delhi (LCFD)
Dr. Widinibou Charengna
T
his letter is to promote good relationship, good values and good life
for LCFD in particular and to the people of Liangmai in general. It is better
to have good feelings in order to enjoy
a good life that God has given us. This
letter was fragmented into two parts i.e.
for parents and youths.
Dear LCFD parents, Children are our
most precious resource, but a good parent or parent-like figures are becoming
almost extinct. From the earliest years
the children should be taught to speak
respectfully and lovingly to their parents and elders. They should be taught
only words of gentleness and truth, and
purity must be part of their lips. Let the
parents themselves be learners in the
school of Christ. They should speak of
the mercy and loving-kindness of God.
It is the duty of parents to train their
children with correct speaking habit.
Most parents love their children in one
sense, but often they provoke or hurt
their little ones by calling them with
ugly names and at times threaten to
slap it which is opposite the way Christian parents should love their children.
How many fathers and mothers under
provocation are making severe threats
to punish their children and at the same
time calling them ugly brats, mean kids,
little imps, etc? Such parents are not
proper Christians, no matter what may
be their profession. They do not com10
prehend the true nature of Christianity
if they believe themselves to be Christians while having such feelings and
use such terms toward their children.
Even as children visit worldly places of
amusement like picnics, a show, parties,
dances, etc., parents should pray for
them and give them good guidance in
everything so that they may not depart
from God.
Parents should not allow their
children for excessive use of internet,
games, mobile etc., through which they
can defile and ruin their lives. It is parents’ responsibility and duty to make
their children obey laws.
No doubt parents should focus their
attention on children at the same time
they should not neglect their own
spouse. Couples need to love each other
which will become a good example for
children. Some suggestions:
F
Be transparent to each other
F
Never keep secrets in money
matters
F
Do not spend money on your
relatives without the knowledge of your
spouse
F
Love your children equally
F Go to church together with
your family
F
Both should love each other’s
relatives
F
Wife should be a good host to
the guests
April-May 2014
F
Wife should have a humble
character
F Couple should not fight or
quarrel in front of children
F
Husband should not doubt his
wife’s movement
F
Husband should be a teetotaller
F
When you suddenly hear peculiar sounds from kitchen be sure that
somebody wants to draw your attention
F
Do not promise your children
more than your capacity
F
Remove the word prestige from
your dictionary (between wife and husband there is no question of prestige)
F
Little quarrels are necessary
between the couples to understand each
other and to rectify your mistakes
F Don’t blame your religious
leaders; they are doing a good job. Let’s
be honest, your criticism and mastery
dominance upon your leaders can hurt
their sentiments. No one enjoys wield
influence and hearing something negative in their leadership.
Liangmai are a special people chosen
by God to be an example to those living around us.
Dear LCFD youths, normally every human eye is attracted by fine and costly
clothes, fashionable style of dressing
and bright jewelleries. Today we live
in a post modern period when everything is getting mixed up. The present
youngster today educated or uneducated consciously or unconsciously adapt
the western style which discard the precious biblical truth culture. The youth
today, immediately imitate the style of
western hero or heroine through movies, fashion, hairs style without any
shame and question in their mind. Initially such imitation allows or invites to
unbiblical practice like immorality, violence, killing and bring chaotic in the
society. Many youth are unemployed,
so they go out to other state or metropolitan cities for earning money. They
work together with Muslim and Hindu
and it’s up to them to be more careful
and not practice unlawful activities.
Remember that, your youth should be
spent wisely and escape from worldly glamorous. Ask God to provide you
with the strength to help you avoid and
walk away from temptations.
Youth life has lots of dreams and expectations. Sometimes they have wild expectations and some people have mild
expectations. It is good to have some
expectation but somewhere or other
you need to compromise on certain
matters. Let’s examine the following expectations:
Expectations of man, frank expression:
F
Should be good looking, outward beauty
F
Need some help in the kitchen
and washing clothes
F Should be tall and healthy
(honestly speaking)
F
Graduate with government job
(why not private jobs?)
F
Should be presentable in the
congregations
F
Fearing God
F
Predominantly feminine trait
Expectations of girl, frank expression:
11
Kajinghiu-Karamhiu 2014
F
Should
be
religious/fearing
God
F
Wish to have a husband more
educated than them
F
Should be brilliant and educated
F
Should be good looking and
good character
F
Should be presentable
F
Fair complexion and tall
F
Post graduate with central or
state government job
F
Should own a house and a car

eligible to marry?)

Not staying with parents after
marriage (if you are a man, will you
agree?)
Expectations can be your greatest
strength but they can also be your worst
enemy if they aren’t a realistic one. Do
not expect your married life to be like a
cinema/fairytale type married life.

Kajinghiu-Karamhiu 2014
WELCOME TO BRAZIL MY
TOP FIVE FIFA TEAMS
Raingambou Chawang
he most anticipated sporting event
of this year will undoubtedly be the
FIFA World Cup. Don’t need to tell you
where and when this event is going to
start, but let me remind you; the countdown is less than 35 days. Forget about
those public anger and protests happening in and around the host nation;
those things happen in or before every
big occasion.
You can see a trailer of it in the UEFA
Champions League showdown on 24th
of May, 2014; don’t know if you are a
Real Madrid or an Atletico Madrid fan.
Right after this our hearts would turn
towards Brazil. Could not buy a single
match ticket or book a flight ticket. It
does not matter if you are the same with
me. The spectators in the stadiums will
be deprived of the slow-motions such
as moments of the way goals are scored,
excellence, brilliance, magic, beauty
and skills of the players more than once
in clarity. There are no such things as
who are stronger or weaker. They are
hungry to lift the cup, and you know
that every nation is made to qualify
through tough and rigorous processes
like qualifying rounds and play-offs,
except for the host nation. Of all the 32
teams if I were to choose five countries
that seem more imminent of lifting
this 2014 FIFA World Cup, without a
moment’s hesitation I’d definitely pick
Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina and
Portugal. Glad that I have this chance
T
22
of sharing my thoughts about these five
countries.
BRAZIL: You may or may not know
that they are the five time world champions and reaching the final in two opportunities. They won in 1958, 1962,
1970, 1994 and 2002. But do you know
that Brazil is the only country to take
part in all FIFA World Cups since 1930
(except in 1942 and 1946, due to 2nd
World War), with most wins and goals
scored in the history of the competition? Brazil produced many greats like
– Pele, Garrincha, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. And these are why there is always a tendency in every football fan’s
psyche to love, cheer and support Brazil. This year too talented youngsters
like Neymar, Oscar, Hulk and David
Luiz will spearhead in the tournament.
Luiz Felipe Scolari will be managing
this team and they rank now 4th in the
latest FIFA rankings. This team will be
the most cheered team, and you know
that. The only fear Brazil has now was
the nightmare of the 1950 World Cup;
Uruguay ran away with the trophy from
right under their nose under the roof of
Maracana stadium, which again this
year will be hosting the grand finale,
with a scoreline 2-1. There is an added
home advantage for them. This is why
favoring this team will be a joy. You will
hardly feel the pangs of loss if you are to
support Brazil, considering the talents
they possess this time.
SPAIN: Spain is one of the eight countries to have won the FIFA World Cup,
which they did at the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa. They have made 13 appearances out of the 19 tournaments,
six fewer than Brazil. They boast of
April-May 2014
Casillas, Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Fabregas and the latest star Diego Costa, who
chooses to represent his adopted country. Vicente del Bosque will be the head
coach and they rank number 1 now in
the FIFA rankings. Their style of tiki-taka will again be their most prized-possession. No doubt, they will be hungry
to defend the title. Cheering this team,
you will feel an orchestra-like moment!
GERMANY: They are the three time
world champions in 1954, 1974 and
1990 and four time runner-up. They
have made 17 appearances and the
second most frequent along with Italy.
Players like Klose, Lahm, Neuer, Schweinsteigger and Ozil will be the ones
whom to watch out for. Their attacking style is a real joy to watch. Joachim
Loew will the coach and they rank 2nd
in the FIFA rankings now. Miroslav
Klose will be seeking for more goals; he
will be keen to break Brazilian Ronaldo’s FIFA World Cup goal scoring record of 15 goals. He has now 14. Don’t
you want to see him breaking that record?
ARGENTINA: They have won two
World Cups in 1978 and 1986 and has
been runner-up twice in 1930 and 1990.
They have made 15 appearances. Maradona single-handedly won the 1986
World Cup. In the same tournament’s
quarterfinal round, he scored both
goals in a 2-1 victory over England that
entered football history, though for two
different reasons. The first goal was via
an unpenalised handball known as the
“Hand of God”, while the second goal
followed a 60m dribble past five England players. Alejandro Sabella will be
managing the team and they rank 7th
in the FIFA rankings now. This time
they have Messi, Aguero, Di Maria,
Mascherano and Higuain. Messi, the
captain, will be leading his team. Can
he deliver the cup this time? Only time
will tell. And why not? He, along with
such talented team mates, can add atleast one more title.
PORTUGAL: Their best performance
so far in the FIFA World Cups was the
third place in 1966. They have made 6
appearances. Paulo Bento will be managing the team and they rank 3rd in the
FIFA rankings now. The 3rd place in the
1966 World Cup, inspired by Eusebio,
who recently passed away, is something
the team can draw inspiration from.
Portugal has Ronaldo, Coentrao, Pepe
and Raul Meireles. The country’s highest scorer, Ronaldo, the captain, will be
hoping to give his best performance for
his beloved country. He knows that the
whole of Portugal is keeping the greatest faith in him to bring the trophy
home.
There are some footballers who entertain more than anybody else. There are
surprises in every World Cup; we have
been witnessing some young players
shining bright and sealing their names
to a star status. But for now you can
watch out for Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Diego Costa and
Neymar. Now I shall be trimming them
only to two. Do you ever hear a phrase
‘Ronaldo Vs Messi’? They have been
the talking point since the recent six or
seven years; have been a subject of the
most talked-debate. Football enthusiasts, critics and fans around the world
are finding hard to say who between
23
Kajinghiu-Karamhiu 2014
the two is a better one. Its ironical; I
have witnessed; their debate divide
families and friends. Now, I’m about to
jump into that debate. As a fan, I would
give my vote to the Portuguese. There
are obvious reasons of my admiration
and passion for him; his hardwork and
true professionalism, his obsession for
perfection, his quality of both style and
substance and his dream to be the best.
They say Ronaldo comes the first and
leaves the last during every practice session. Both have, in the club level, won
everything that there has to be won, but
they have one thing in common; they
have not won a single World Cup for
their respective countries. Pele and Maradona are still talked-about even now;
much of their contemporaries’ greatness, who were their equal, have begun
to be considered ordinary. Both won the
World Cup; there is always a tendency
that people only remember the greatness of the World Cups. Cristiano and
Leo can instill that kind of impact to the
world if they or any of them manage to
lift this year’s World Cup. Ronaldo is 29
years old and his height is 6ft 1in. Messi
is 27 and measures 5ft 7in. I dream of a
‘Cristiano Vs Messi’ showdown in that
Maracana on 13th of July. Anyway, they
are not greater than the game; football
will continue to mesmerize and entertain us like no other game ever could.
Are you ready to witness such extravaganza? Why not? Can’t wait to finish
my 6th semester exam. I wish ‘All the
Best’ to your favourite teams!
Let us just wait for the moment to begin. I have a doubt that you may know
this; Brazilians count only the Cup, they
24
do not accept anything that is lesser
than that. Cheer up; there will be samba
dances everywhere. The Brazilians will
be waiting with smiles to anyone who
comes to Brazil. Are you ready to witness such extravaganza? I wish ‘All the
Best’ to your favourite teams!
Mother’s
Day: Origin and Its
Meaning
Florence ZN and P. Namsidinbou
A
ccording to Bible, everyday
should be a mother’s day. The Ten
Commandments teaches us to honour our mothers and fathers, (Exodus
20: 12) and repeated in Deuteronomy 5: 16. And perhaps less famously,
but no less powerfully, Leviticus 19: 3
declares, “You shall each revere your
mother and father. You are to keep My
Sabbaths; I am the Lord your God.” It
is clear from the above mentioned Ten
Commandments and Laws of Holiness
that God uses mothers for the establishment and maintenance of human
institutions to make their descendents
become the salt of the world and permeate the world with Christian idealism.
Mother’s Day is a celebration
honouring mothers and motherhood,
April-May 2014
maternal bonds and the influence of
mothers in society. It is celebrated on
various days in many parts of the world,
most commonly in spring. It complements similar celebrations honouring
family members, such as Father’s Day
and Siblings Day. The celebration of
Mother’s Day began in the early 20th
century; it is not related to many celebrations of mothers and motherhood
that have occurred throughout the
world over thousands of years, such as
the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman
festival of Hilaria, the Christian Mothering Sunday Celebration or Kamipui
jiang of Liangmai.
The idea of celebrating Mother’s Day in United States was first conceptualised by Ward Howe in 1870.
Although she had penned The Battle
Hymn of the Republic twelve years earlier, Howe had become so distraught by
the death and carnage of the Civil War.
She called on Mothers to come together
and protest what she saw as the futility
of their Sons killing the Sons of other
Mothers. With the following, she called
for an international Mother’s Day celebrating peace and motherhood. Howe
proposed July 4th to be Mother’s Day,
in order to dedicate the nation’s anniversary to peace. However, June 2nd
was designated for the celebration; in
1873 women’s group in 18 American
cities observed this new Mother’s holiday. Howe initially funded many of
these celebrations, but died out once
she stopped footing the bill.
The story of Mother’s Day is the story
of firm determination of a daughter,
Anna Jarvis who resolved to pay tribute to her mother, Mrs. Anna M. Jar-
vis and all other mothers of the world.
Anna Jarvis dedicated her life to fulfil
her mother’s dream of the recognition
of day for honouring mothers. Though
never became a mother herself, Founder of Mother’s Day, Anna Jarvis is today
recognised as the “Mother of Mothers
Day”. An apt title is to define the remarkable woman’s ceaseless devotion
to her mother and motherhood in general.
Anna Jarvis got the inspiration of celebrating Mothers Day quite
early in life. It so happened that one
day when Anna was 12 years old, her
mother Mrs. Jarvis said a class prayer in
the presence of Anna. To conclude the
lesson on ‘Mothers of Bible’, Mrs. Jarvis
said a small prayer, “I hope that someone will found a memorial mother’s day
commemorating her for the matchless
service she renders to humanity in
every field of life. She is entitled to it”.
Anna never forgot this prayer. And at
her mother’s graveside service, she recalled the prayer and said, “…by the
grace of God, you shall have that Mother’s Day.’”
After the death of her mother in 1905, Anna resolved to honour
her mother. She became more serious
in her resolution when she found that
adult children in the United States were
negligent in their behaviour towards
their parents. Besides the desire of her
mother that someone would one day
pay tribute to all mothers, living and
dead and appreciate their contributions
made her decisions even stronger. In
1907, Anna began an aggressive campaign to establish a National Mothers
Day in United States. On the second
25
Kajinghiu-Karamhiu 2014
death anniversary of her mother she
led a small tribute to her mother at Andrews Methodist Church. By the next
year, Mother’s Day was also celebrated
in her own city of Philadelphia.
To give shape to her resolution, Anna
along with her supporters began to
write hundreds of letters to those holding the positions of power advocate
the need for a national Mothers Day.
Though the response was cold initially, she achieved a breakthrough by
gaining the support of great merchant
and philanthropist, John Wanamaker of Philadelphia. As such, in 1909,
forty-five countries started observing
Mother’s Day. People also wore white
and red Carnations to pay tribute to
their mothers, according to the tradition started by Anna. Anna chose carnations because they were her mother’s
favourite flowers. White carnation was
her most favourite because it represented purity of a mother’s heart. A white
carnation was to be worn to honour deceased mothers and a red one to honour a living mother.
By 1911, Mother’s Day was
celebrated in almost every state of the
United States and on May 8th, 1914,
President Woodrow Wilson made the
official announcement proclaiming
Mother’s Day as a national holiday that
was to be held each year on the second
Sunday of May.
Meaning
Being a mother is a very important role
that the Lord chooses to give to many
women. Mothers are or, were meant
to be, the chief soul moulders, character constructors and God’s recruiting
26
agents for the eternal realms of heaven.
As such, we consider our mothers as
the sweetest gift of God. As a Christian,
mothers should be ready to give their
children back to God, for His use, because they are gifts of God. For Psalm
127: 3 says, “Sons are a heritage from
the Lord, children a reward from Him”.
To fulfil the above arguments, several things are commanded to Christian
mothers in God’s Word:
•
Availability—morning, noon
and night (Deuteronomy 6: 6-7).
•
Involvement—interacting, discussing, thinking and processing life
together (Ephesians 6: 4).
•
Teaching—the scriptures and
biblical worldview (Psalm 78: 5-6; Deuteronomy 4: 10 and Ephesians 6:4).
•
Training—helping a child to
develop skills and discover his/her
strengths (Proverbs 22: 6) and spiritual
gifts (Romans 12: 3-8 and 1 Cor. 12).
•
Discipline—teaching the fear
of the Lord, drawing the line consistently, lovingly, firmly (Ephesians 6: 4;
Hebrew 12: 5-11; Proverbs 13: 24; 19:
18; 22: 15; 23: 13-14; 29: 15-17).
•
Nurture—providing an environment of constant verbal support,
freedom to fail, acceptance, affection,
unconditional love (Titus, 2: 4; 2 Tim.
1: 7; Eph. 4: 29-32’\; 5: 1-2; Gal. 5: 22; 1
Peter 3: 8-9).
•
Modelling with Integrity—Living what you say, being a model from
which a child can learn by ‘catching’ the
essence of godly living (Deu. 4: 9, 15,
23; Proverbs 10: 9; 11: 3; Psalm 17: 18,
37).
We celebrate Mother’s Day every year
not because it was started in Unit-
April-May 2014
ed States or its official announcement
was made by American President
Woodrow Wilson in 1914, but we do
it because our mothers fulfil the God’s
commandments mentioned above to
make us someone special. In this regard, Zondervan (1988) argues that
in Christian church, a mother holds
a special place in the hearts of all, for
without her none of us could be here in
physical form and as an expression of
the will of God to have humans made
in his own image. As such, mothers
are first celebrated by Adam. The Bible
says, “And Adam called his wife’s name
Eve; because she was the mother of all
living” (Genesis 3: 20). It is in this verse,
in fact, that the term “mother” is first
mentioned. The etymology of the word
Eve is derived from the Hebrew words
for, to breathe, and to live. She is our
breath and our life, and we celebrate
her as the mother of all mankind.
The observer of this day who has a living mother to honour is truly fortunate,
for the opportunity still remains to
him/her to speak the word of endearment, appreciation and pride which is
the only thing she covets. The observer
of this day who has only the memory of
a mother can know the richness, beauty and comfort of it by calling back the
memory and cherishing it, which fulfils
the faith of the one who gave him/her
life. Let Mother’s Day bring happiness
where it can, and let it turn the key of
loving remembrance upon the cherished days of the past where that is our
only recourse, and we will have observed the day in keeping with its high
and lovely purpose.
A Letter
Mother
to
I was Blessed to have a beautiful Mother like you for 29 years
of my life. You are the kind of
mother who lived for your children, grandchildren and whoever needed you. Your love and
care are missed dearly by everyone. I awake each morning
to start a new day, but the pain
of losing you never goes away.
I do about the things I have to
do, and as the hours pass I think
again of you. I want to call you
and just hear your voice. Then
I realised that I have no choice,
for you are no more here. And
now my heart cries just to see
you again and to say ‘goodbye’,
to say ‘MOM I love you and I always will.’ The day that you left
me I just didn’t understand that
you were going where I couldn’t
go. And now all my memories of
you are so dear, but I miss you
and wish you were here; who
now can hear me when I cry. It’s
so hard to tell you “MOM GOOD
BYE”. Someday I know all will
be well and I’ll see you again
with stories to tell how you were
missed and how we have grown.
Until then my memories of
you, I’ll keep near, and I’ll pass
them on to those who are dear. I
MISS YOU “MOM”. I LOVE YOU
“MOM”.
