Martin Luther: On Mother’s Love

You say that the sins which we commit every day offend God, and therefore we are not saints. To this I reply: Mother love is stronger than the filth and scabbiness on a child, and so the love of God toward us is stronger than the dirt that clings to us. Accordingly, although we are sinners, we do not lose our filial relation on account of our filthiness, nor do we fall from grace on account of our sin.  — Martin Luther

[The context is Luther’s argument with those schismatics who believe salvation, once obtained, can be lost].

About Mothers

My curfew was street lights. Mom didn’t call my cell, she called my name. I played outside with friends, not online. If I didn’t eat what mom cooked, then I didn’t eat. Sanitized didn’t exist, but you could get your mouth washed out with soap. I rode a bike without a helmet, getting dirty was OK, and neighbors cared about you as much as parents did. I even drank water from a garden hose and survived.
