Ben Seewald, the deeply religious husband of Jessa Duggar from "19 Kids and Counting," often shares about the Scripture on his social media accounts and makes it a point to spread God's love with fans.

For his mother's birthday, Ben did not pass up the chance to greet her a happy birthday and to express his love and gratitude towards her. "Thank you for your loving care and sacrifice," he wrote on his Facebook page.

He praised his mother for "always thinking of others first" and for being "such an amazing example of devotion to God." Ben described his mother as someone who has a tender heart that carries the heaven burden of her loved ones. While his mother does so without asking for anything, the soon-to-be father is certain that God will reward her in heaven.

"Few will know the tears you weep for others, but God sees and not one drops to the floor unnoticed," he said.

Ben also shared that his mother inspires him to have a heart burning with compassion for those who are in pain and in suffering. His mother taught him to care for those he has not met, and to exhibit "true love and selflessness that doesn't receive recognition from people."

His mother is the epitome of hospitality, laughter, and sunshine, revealed Ben, and she finds great joy embarking on outdoor adventures with her kids.

"Only God knows the countless hours of heartfelt prayer that have gone up to God on behalf of each one of your seven children! I praise for the way He is expressed in you! I praise Him for giving you to be my mother! I love you Mom!" Ben said.
