CSN - LightWing Messages for Mother’s Day - 5/14/2023
Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.”
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Your children hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you. Lift u your eyes and look around; all your children gather and come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “you will wear them all as ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride.
“Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste, now you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.
The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.’
Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who bore me these?
I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up?
I was left all alone, but these—where have they come from?’”
This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations, I will lift up my banner to the peoples;
they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their hips.
Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers.
They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”
Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives be rescued from the fierce?
But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.” ………Isaiah 49:13-25 (NIV)
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE:
Today is Mother’s Day. So – Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
In the midst of this culture of corruption and criminal perversion and promotion of death and destruction, there are rays of golden light penetrating the darkness. Rays of hope are present and relevant to all who love life and liberty and the pursuit of goodness. Today is a day that we choose to celebrate and to honor our mothers, but also motherhood in general. God’s people make themselves known by honoring life, liberty and the pursuit of goodness and that includes honoring motherhood as through mothers all people receive life and should learn to defend the freedoms we enjoy and to practice the pursuit of goodness – even in the midst of our culture.
In such a time as this, those who let their light shine will serve the greater good because they are able to provide illumination in this period of darkness. When such people allow God to live in them and to shine through themselves, a greater majority of our people can move beyond the darkness into a fuller and more lasting dimension of light.
As I mentioned last week, “As the good people move through this dark period of American history, and as people move through the dark bleakness in this world, they naturally seek light to show the evil that would seek to do them or their loved ones harm.” In reflecting more deeply on this reality, it is good mothers who help their children to learn the difference between right and wrong, between good and evil. However, there are bad mothers, or downright evil mothers that we learn about from the news media. (Often they only report about the ugly or the evil ones). To listen to the steady drumbeat of the mainstream media or to allow the negative messages of the social media realms inside, it does not generate the light to illuminate the darkness. It invites the darkness to sometimes consume us, and to drain the hope from us.
Good mothers are needed in such a time as this to help their children to seek and find the rays of hope – the rays of light in the midst of the darkness. That is what good mothers are able to do in times of darkness – they raise their children to become people of goodness.
Is this seeming too idealistic and not taking into account the “real world” that everyone has to confront everyday? It accounts for the world in which we live, but it places more emphasis on the ideal of what good mothers could be when they do not let the “real world” overwhelm them. Good mothers fight through the garbage to offer themselves to their offspring and to raise them to fight through the garbage of the world to be people of goodness. There are countless stories of people who give credit to their mothers that had helped them become better or great people. We do not need scientific studies to verify this. The witness to the truth of this is enough.
Good mothers help their children to become good people. Satan knows this, and knows that it is critical for a healthy society to have solid and stable families. Confucius knew this long, long ago and taught about the value of the family to a civil society. The ancient Hebrews knew the value of the family, and were taught by God how important the raising of children of goodness was to the survival of their people. He taught them; it was their responsibility to follow through.
Our first featured message today is to honor Moms and motherhood in general as both are under attack from agents of evil. So, mine is one small voice crying from the wilderness that is offering my humble defense of Mothers in such a time as this. Our second message is from the folks at MyFaithVotes and is entitled simply, “A Mother Knows.” It is so true!
Also, we hope that readers can check out some of the other features we offer today. We have some great videos, and two humorous videos that will hopefully lighten everyone’s reflections on the value of mothers in this day and age.
Our Zoom calls are continuing on each Wednesday at 5pm PDT (6pm MDT; 7pm CDT; and 8pm EDT). This coming Wednesday, we will have a discussion on the articles we offer today. We had a good interview session last week with James Harrison, founder of the Natural Family Foundation and radio commentator. He is an activist in Ohio, and those who tuned in this past Wednesday learned about his efforts to create a month-long “Celebration of the Family” as a national holiday. We had provided information about his initiative in previous editions, and also reference in this edition by offering a link to the Natural Family Foundation website. Readers are reminded that his proposal commences today on Mother’s Day and will continue through to Father’s Day in mid-June.
If readers would like to partake in this upcoming Zoom call on Wednesday and take part in our discussion, please reach out. Readers who are interested in receiving the Zoom link to the call, are asked to please send a brief email request to this address: d.jamzon@gmail.com

Finally, please note that the CPR newsletter mentioned previously is currently being sent to our LightWing readers automatically on a regular distribution schedule twice a month. Citizen Voice readers should know that if this newsletter is appreciated, please let us know and we’ll remove your email address from the distribution list. The next CPR newsletter will be posted near the end of May.
As always, we hope our readers would consider all the messages in this edition meaningful, or relevant in some way, and if readers know others who might value the messages as well, please consider passing this newsletter on to those whom you feel would welcome it. Or simply, please receive it yourselves. We are now in process of evaluating our communication efforts and our options going forward. We are now more conscious of the contents of our newsletters. Soon a decision will be made regarding the future course of our communications endeavors. Much is happening in this Cosmic Battle that the world is immersed in at this time.
These words are being freely offered to you and are intended to shine light unto our paths, as it was written: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
May God bless all of our readers and all of their loved ones. May God bless America!
May we truly seek God’s Heart - He knows our plight as His children, and His Grace still permeates the planet for those who are willing to receive it. May we truly receive God’s Love - He also knows whether we are hungry or thirsty for His Love, and He does not withhold it. It is we who block the flow of HIs Love intended for our shriveled hearts. May we truly seek the genuine path in pursuit of His Kingdom and His righteousness.
The Value of Motherhood from Another Time, Not Long Ago
By Dennis Jamison 5/12/23
It’s hard to admit when one ‘s devotion and loyalty to an object or cause is shown to be misguided or wrong. It’s even harder if our fervent devotion spans multiple years or decades.
Handwringing and gnashing of teeth dominate many of our current social interactions. At least that’s how social media platforms, cable news networks, and television shows portray it. The picture is of thousands of individuals consumed with upset, anger, and even rage.
Why are people so angry and upset, even filled with rage? Whatever the object of our devotion, the fulfillment of a promise or anticipated beneficial outcome is always operating the background. No one gets out of bed in the morning with the expectation that by pursuing cherished hopes and dreams their life will be worse off at the end of the day.
It is a delusion to place one’s undying hope and faith into an anticipated outcome that cannot be fulfilled. Eventually, you will have to acknowledge where things are not working out and be willing to change, or kicking and screaming, go down in stubborn denial.
We like to think we are the sole mover that shapes our lives for good or ill. The idea we are subject to other forces and influences beyond our control or perception flies in the face of the American Dream of” pulling oneself up by one’s bootstraps.” Like it or not, if other realities do exist and are influencing us, they are affecting us, regardless of our denial of their existence.
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, Quantum Theory, and Bell’s Theorem of the 20th century, shattered previously held scientific concepts about the nature of time, space, and matter. It was no longer possible to accept the idea all objects exist as separate, localized, isolated entities, without any inherited connection with all other objects. Regardless, many in the 21st century still pledge loyalty to the doctrine of Scientism-the viewing of all phenomena in terms physical processes and what can only be measured through the five physical senses.
Citizens of the 21st century are challenged to gain a deeper understanding about what it means to live with the awareness of an inherent connectedness to everyone and everything. Religious and spiritual tradition over thousands of years, with varying degrees of success and failure, try to help people see this awareness as an essential key to individual and societal happiness.
Awareness of our inherent connectedness with the tiniest invisible subatomic particles to the largest stars in space billions of miles from earth, is the consciousness that needs to be cultivated.
Ask yourself: If I see my thoughts, feelings, and attitudes, having a direct impact on everyone I know—and don’t know— and every object that exists, how does this influence the way I live, move, and act in the world?
Why are people so angry and upset, even filled with rage?
Herein lies the answer: When I see the “other” as a separate, isolated individual, qualitatively different from me and having no impact on my life, this is how I allow anger, upset, and rage to manifest in my life. Whenever the other is not me, well then, it’s easy to dismiss, vilify, hate. That’s right. Even the “terrorist” is you. Even the political supporter you hate is you. Even the religion you condemn is you. Can you not see the folly of your tiny, pea brained thinking?
It's time to let go of our over-inflated sense of self-importance. It’s time to surrender to the fact you know extraordinarily little about the vastness of the cosmos, yet you want to run around declaring how great you are and how profound your thinking is.
Can you tell me where you were before you were born? Do you know where you will be once your physical body ceases to function? Do you know how life on earth began? Do you know the source of the intelligence permeating the billions of cells in your body, allowing you to breathe in and out, over and over again?
Do you want to see an end to anger, hate, and rage in yourself and others? Try this: Let go of your preconceived notions about right and wrong, good, and bad, righteousness and unrighteousness.
Embrace the one idea that guarantees continued happiness and fulfillment: You, me, and the other are all ONE. No separation. Everything is interconnected. Learn how to cultivate and experience this awareness more and see how your life changes for the better.
It’s the only object to place your undying devotion and faith in.
Make it your central life concern. You won’t be disappointed!
You will find your happiness, forever!
A Mother Knows
From MyFaithVotes
“Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” (Ephesians 6:2-3)
The American holiday we celebrate as Mother’s Day was created in 1908 by a woman named Anna Jarvis to recognize the sacrifices mothers make for their children. President Woodrow Wilson made it official in 1914 by signing a measure establishing the holiday on the second Sunday in May.
While it is good to set aside a day to honor our mothers, God calls us to honor them every day and promises us long lives if we do. So, let’s pause to honor all mothers and celebrate the experiences that make them unique, those things that, by God’s design, only a mother can know.
Only a mother knows what it’s like to be pregnant—to carry a growing human being inside her body, to feel it quicken and know a second heart beats alongside her own.
Only a mother can experience childbirth—to know the physical process of giving birth to a child. The intense pain. The super-human effort. The indescribable reward.
Only a mother can breastfeed — to feel the satisfaction of nourishing and sustaining a life with her own breastmilk.
A mother has maternal instincts—the special ability to nurture and protect her child with an uncanny sixth sense. Mothers can detect the subtle shift in the tone of their baby’s cry or a teenager’s mood. They can diagnose a fever with the touch of a forehead, long before a thermometer confirms it.
Only a mother knows the maternal bond—that deep emotional connection between a mother and her child is experienced by biological and adoptive mothers and is unlike any other.
A mother knows sacrifice—they sacrifice their bodies during pregnancy, endure sleep deprivation and forgo career advancement. And yet, they accept these sacrifices and many more, gladly exchanging them for the unparalleled joy that motherhood brings.
And a mother knows endless love — the boundless affection a mother feels for her child. It is unique and profound and provides a reminder of God’s love for us.
So, this Mother’s Day — and every day — honor your mother so that she receives the recognition she so richly deserved and that you may enjoy God’s blessings.
