An Older Mother Sharing Her Testimony

Pastor Ruben Ochoa Preaching

Honoring Mothers

A "Queen of the Home" Found

The Queen of the Home Crowned

Today in our church we had a special service for mothers. The service included a drama about a queen who had a terminal disease who sent her servants searching for the appropriate person to reign in her place. They searched the kingdom and found a number of people who might qualify. These included a musician, a farmer, a businessman, a teacher, and a warrior, all of whom argued their case as to what they could provide for the kingdom. The queen was not satisfied, however, and sent them out searching again. They returned with the "queen of the home," who had suffered patiently and taught lovingly and provided generously for her family. She was the perfect candidate to reign in place of the queen, and after she was crowned the new queen, she instructed all of her subjects to prepare to present themselves before the "King of kings."

A quartet including Steve Benedict, Jerry Chen, Ruben Ochoa, and Tony Steele, also sang a special song for the mothers  called "Mujer, Bella Mujer." A recording was made and handed out to the mothers which you can hear at this link. Click the orange play button at the top. 




What follows are the lyrics with translation.

Más hermosa que cualquier piedra,
(More beautiful than any (gem)stone)
Luchas contra todo, no te rindes.
(You struggle against everything, you don’t give up)

Solo hay una madre como tú.
(There is only one mother like you)

Cuando hablas, hablas con gracia,

(When you speak, you speak with grace)

Cuando enseñas, enseñas con amor.

(When you teach, you teach with love)
Solo hay una madre como tú.
(There is only one mother like you)

Mujer, bella mujer en Dios está tu fe,

(Woman, beautiful woman, your faith is in God)

Mujer, bella mujer, en Dios está tu fuerza.

(Woman, beautiful woman, your strength is in God)

We hope all mothers enjoyed this day and we pray that every child is born to a godly, Christian mother.
