Mother’s Day

Hello!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there!  My mom provided a warm, safe, loving home for myself and my siblings.  I have very fond memories of my childhood and much of it is attributed to the selfless way she ran our home. She truly lived by the saying “Once you bring kids into the world, it’s not about you anymore.”  I hope all of you feel as fortunate as I do!

In Pastor Dr. Charles Stanley’s In Touch monthly magazine he wrote about the Influence of the Ordinary Mother.  Below is an excerpt:

“If you’re a mom, you have tremendous influence in the lives of your children. There is no way to know how God will use them in the future. But whatever His plans may be, you can equip your sons and daughters by determining to spend time with them each day, reading and teaching them God’s Word.

But perhaps the greatest impact you have on your children is your example. When they see you modeling Godly character, or trusting the Lord in the midst of trials, they will want to know and love God as you do.  And that is the best way you can equip the next generation.”

Wonderful words by a wonderful man of God.  I encourage you to seek out this monthly publication- it has a Bible verse and an application of that verse, for each day.  Dr. Stanley’s Life Principles Bible is also an amazing resource for your journey into a relationship with our Lord.

Have a wonderful Mother’s day, Enjoy.
