Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

Whether you are close to your mother or not there is no doubt that God put her in a special light.  We are told to honor her or face the consequences of our actions. And we are also told that the only sin frowned upon more than dishonoring your mother is to carve for yourself an idol.  And for those of you that are mothers, the Bible also gives many examples of how you should act and feel about that role.  Hannah and Mary are probably the best of those examples because they both showed that to be a good mother you must have great faith and be willing to listen to God.  While the role of Mother can be daunting at times, there is no job on this earth that can give you the kind of satisfaction that comes from raising a child to be a follower of Christ.  Be proud that God has given you this amazing opportunity.
