It's Mother's Day and I want to look at a "bitter" mother. Naomi had a lot of reasons to be bitter. Life had not worked out for her. She said her name was now Mara, which means bitter. Yet through her life and story God was at work and I would like to image that at the end when someone called her Mara she corrected them and said, "You can call me Naomi." She was no longer the bitter one.
