When Momma Calls

“On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”St. John 2:1-3 NIV

Women’s History Month has been a great time of reflect for me and not to mention all of the songs like:

More than a Woman-Aaliyah, I’m feeling Good-Nina, Simone, I’m every woman-Chaka Khan, Natural, Woman-Aretha Franklin, Girls Just wanna have fun-Cyndi Lauper, Superwoman-Alicia Keys, I am Woman-Helen Reddy, cause I’m a woman-Peggy Lee, and I can’t forget about my beautiful daughter, Cherelle K doing her thang. The words of song, both minister and encourage us on the journey.

Now let me get back to my topic. “When Momma Calls.”  There is no way to know or certain why Jesus chosen a wedding in Cana to perform his first miracle. Now this was a family of close connection to this wedding. I imagine it was a festive time where a bride is focused on being beautiful and enjoying her moment with her new husband. The fact that Jesus’ momma was concerned about the lack of wine, suggest that she was involved in the planning and organizing of the wedding. The whole family was there.

In those days wedding were considered an honor. They lasted for seven days, during which time food and wine was supplied by the families. Even though Jesus had never performed a miracle in public, I sense that his mother recognized that if anyone was going to handle the families wine problem, it would be Jesus. He did not disappoint as the festivities went on without a hiccup.

Isn’t that Just like our God on earth, who takes the ordinary and simple things to confound the wise? Water was turned into wine, from clay Adam lived and it didn’t stop there as God took one of his ribs to create woman. God is Awesome. There is none like Him.

As I Close Out Women’s History Month, I would like to thank my mom, daughter, sisters, aunties, and dear friends for being an example of beauty and strength. May God bless all you put your head, hands, and heart too.“Acknowledge the struggles, recognize the triumphs, keep pushing forward, take courage as we trust God with our Everything.  And I mean Everything.” Jannie V.
