Mother’s Day and the ‘Sword of the Soul’

Mary was told that a 'sword would piece her soul', and it sure did, she found out the hard way about the truth about motherhood. “And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2:33-35 (KJB)
