Mom Matters: 150 Ways Moms Make a Difference in Our Lives by Anita Higman, © 2012
Just in time for Mother's Day, a gift devotional filled with joy and humor ~ blanket tents, trips to the zoo, college care packages in those tightly tucked shoe boxes, Mom Matters has a Scripture index and memory jolting of younger days, and laced with prayer. Maybe you will want a copy for yourself, too, to remind you to thank Mom for just being there. Here are devotions 1 and 150 ~ you will enjoy reading the ones in-between them too!
1. Moms smother you in tenderness and kisses
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love.
--Romans 8:38 NLT
Moms are the best kissers in the world. They get lots of practice smooching on tummies, on toes, on cheeks, and on heads. And their kisses come with extra helpings of smiles, giggles, and cuddles. They are kisses that are bountiful, warm, and slobbery. They are sweeter than lollipops, warmer than blankies, and more bountiful than cheddar fish.
Thank You, God, for moms so full of compassion and tenderness, so full of the kind of sweet kisses that make us warm on the inside and loved all over.
150. Moms love it when you remember her special day!
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
--Proverbs 3:15-16
It only comes once a year, so she's hoping you will remember her on Mother's Day. Maybe a card or flowers or sweets. Perhaps a hug or a scarf or a pretty picture that you draw. Or maybe—if you're all grown up and have a really good job—you can give her a trip to the spa!
Lord, help us always to treat our moms with affection and devotion and respect. And help us never to forget our moms on Mother's Day!

Although I enjoyed the book, this is more of a book for young moms than for empty-nesters.

MOM Matters
By: Anita Higman
This is a wonderful Devotional. Heartwarming devotionals that put a smile on my face. The book has 150 devotionals each one has A verse from the Bible that goes with it plus at the end a little prayer. I was happy to see my favorite verse Philippians 4:13 in here. This was on day 19. Learning forgiveness early in becoming a mom. I found them all to be uplifting and inspiring. This book would be a great Mother's Day gift or even a gift in a baby shower basket for the new mom to be.
Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: "There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!" Proverbs 31:28-29. I love reading Anita's books. I kow when I read them they are clean and God honoring.
