Jill and Derick Dillard from 19 Kids and Counting have been challenged during Israel David's dedication to raise their son to love Jesus Christ and follow His example, and the couple are really eager to take it on.
Jill shared the photo of the special moment on her Instagram account (@jillmdillard) and captioned it, "At Israel's dedication this morning we were challenged to raise him to love Jesus. What a special Mother's Day!"
She shared the Bible verse 3 John 1:14 that says: "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."
Even though she is now a mother herself, Jill did not forget to pay tribute to her own mother Michelle and thank her for everything that she has ever done for the whole Duggar family.
She posted a photo of Michelle carrying Israel David in her arms and wrote, "Happy Mother's Day to my mom and all the other mamas out there! I am blessed beyond measure to have such a Godly, selfless, caring mother!"
As for her husband Derick, he also took the time to greet the two special women of his life - his own mother Cathy Byrum and his wife Jill.
"Happy Mother's Day mom (& grandma now)! We love you!" he wrote on his Instagram account (@derickdillard), then he reminded others not to "forget to express in word and deed how grateful you are for your mother today. After all, if it weren't for her you wouldn't be here."
Later, he posted a photo of Jill while she was wrapping Israel David up. He wrote, "Happy 1st Mother's Day @jillmdillard I love you more than you know! You're already such a great mom to our son, Israel. He's got the best momma because you exemplify the Proverbs 31 woman. We are blessed."
