故事
很久以前，当神最初创造世界时，那里只有陆地、海洋和动物。然后神决定创造一个名叫亚当的男人。亚当成为了许多动物的陪伴和朋友。
有一天，神决定亚当需要一种不同类型的伴侣。于是，他让亚当进入梦乡，从他的身体中取出一根肋骨来做一个女人。神特别为亚当创造了这个女人，她是完美的。亚当爱上了她，并给她起名叫夏娃。她成了第一个母亲，并给她的头两个儿子起名为该隐和亚伯。后来，她又生了一个儿子，取名塞特。这第一个女人，亚当的妻子，非常特别，因为她是从第一个男人身上创造出来的。
几百年后，夏娃之后，另一个特别的女人出现了。我们认识她是因为她是亚伯拉罕的妻子，撒拉。撒拉是一个忠实的妻子，她非常爱主。然而根据圣经记载，撒拉年纪很大，和我们认识的任何一位祖母一样老，但她还没有孩子。有一天，神告诉亚伯拉罕，他将通过他的妻子撒拉成为万国之父，她将很快生下一个儿子。
神应许亚伯拉罕说，他的儿子将像天上的星和海边的沙一样多。撒拉很担心，因为她知道自己太老无法生育，更别说成为无数孩子的母亲了。她看着自己，数着自己老皮肤上的皱褶。
“这是不可能的，我太老了，”撒拉笑着说。
但是，创造一切的神对亚伯拉罕说：“耶和华岂有难成的事吗？到了定期，我必按时回到你这里，撒拉必生一个儿子。”
经过许多日子后，神实现了祂的承诺，撒拉生下了她的第一个孩子，他们给他取名叫以撒。以撒出生后，撒拉因着儿子的祝福更加赞美和爱主。撒拉将永远提醒我们可以成为神的儿女。
撒拉生下以撒之后，多少年过去了。一年、两年、三年，以及数百年后，耶和华的一个天使来到了另一个了不起的女人面前。她的名字叫马利亚。她注定要成为一个年轻人约瑟的妻子。但在她嫁给他之前，天使加百列告诉马利亚，神将通过让她生下一个非常非常特别的儿子来赐福她。
“这怎么可能呢？”她问天使。
“马利亚，因为你对主忠心，祂已经看顾你，使你怀上祂的独生子。” 天使回答道。
马利亚因着她是万王之王、万主之主的母亲而特别，更重要的是，她是人类的救主的了不起的母亲。当马利亚生下他时，她将他放在马槽里，但天上所有的天使都在欢呼赞美。智者来了，送上黄金、乳香和没药。马利亚因为她的孩子而蒙福和特别。你能猜出马利亚的儿子叫什么名字吗？
神通过这些了不起的妈妈们祝福了我们所有人。神首先给了我们夏娃，然后创造了许多特别的妈妈，最后以马利亚结束，她是耶稣的妈妈。圣经中还有许多其他了不起的妈妈。因为神祝福了许多女人，我们可以感谢祂也祝福了我们，让我们拥有爱我们并以许多方式关心我们的母亲、祖母、姑姑和姐妹们。

AMAZING MOMMIES
Mother’s Day is a great time to remind the children how mothers are special. This story is about some mothers found in the Bible, who we honor and remember for whom they really are: amazing mommies.
TOPICS:Family, Mother's Day DURATION:Approximately 10 minutesA long time ago, when God first created the world, it was just the land and sea and the animals that lived there. Then God decided to create the first man, who he named Adam. Adam became the companion and friend of many animals. |
One day, God decided that Adam needed a different kind of companion. So He put Adam to sleep and pulled a rib from his body to help form a woman. God created the woman especially for Adam, and she was perfect. Adam loved her and named her Eve. She became the first mother and named her first two sons Cain and Abel. Later, she had another son and named him Seth. This first woman and wife of Adam was very special because she was created out of the first man on earth.
Many hundreds of years later, after Eve, another special woman came along. We know her as Sarai, the wife of Abraham. Sarai was a faithful wife and she loved the Lord very much. According to the Bible though, Sarai was very old, as old as or even older than any grandmother we know, and she didn’t have any children. But one day God told Abraham that he will be the father of all nations through his wife Sarai who was going to give birth to a son shortly.
God promised Abraham that his sons will be as many as the stars in the sky and the sand on the sea. Sarai was concerned because she knew that she was too old to bear a child, let alone be the mother of countless children. She looked at herself and counted the folds in her old skin.
“It’s impossible, I am just too old,” Sarai laughed at the thought.
But God, who created all things out of nothing said to Abraham, “Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time, and Sarai will have a son.”
After many weeks and months, God fulfilled his promise by letting Sarai bear her first child, who they named Isaac. After Isaac was born, Sarai praised and loved the Lord more because of the blessing of a son. Sarai will always remind us of God’s promise, that we can be one of the many children that God calls his sons and daughters.
Many years passed after Sarai gave birth to Isaac. One year, two years, three years, and hundreds of years afterwards, an angel of the Lord came to visit another amazing woman. Her name was Mary. She was destined to become the wife of a young man named Joseph. But before she could marry him, Gabriel the angel told Mary that God will bless her by having a really, really, special son.
“How can this be?” she asked the angel.
“Mary, since you are faithful to the Lord, He has favored you to bear His one and only Son,” the angel replied.
And so Mary, because she was special, became the amazing mother of the one we call the King of all Kings, Lord of all Lords, and most of all, Savior of mankind. When Mary gave birth to Him, she put Him in a manger, yet all the angels in Heaven rejoiced with praises and singing. Magis came and gave gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Mary felt so blessed and special because of her child. Can you guess Mary’s son’s name?
God blessed us all through these amazing mommies. First God gave us Eve, then He created many special mommies finally ending with Mary, the mother of Jesus. And there are many more amazing mommies in the Bible. Because God blessed many women, we can be thankful that he also blessed us to have mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and sisters who love us and care for us in so many ways.
