THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Things mothers said to their famous sons.
Jonah’s mother, “That’s a wonderful story—now tell me where you've really been.”
Edison’s mother, “Okay, I see you invented the light bulb--- now turn off that light and go to sleep.”
Columbus’s mother, “I am proud of what you have discovered—but you could have written.”
George Washington’s mother, “If you don’t stop throwing money across that river I am cutting off your allowance.”

“No man is poor who has a godly mother.”
The ten commandments were divided into two tablets.
The first tablet, containing four commands, deals with our relationship to God.
The second tablet, containing six commands, deals with our relationship to people.
That second tablet begins with Exodus 20:12 (quoted above).
The FIRST order of a child’s life begins with reverence for God.
The SECOND order of a child’s life begins with reverence for father and mother.
I was fortunate to have a both Christian mother and, after she died, a Christian step-mother.
I feel very sure we shall meet again at the feet of our Lord in heaven.
The impact these two women had on my life is immeasurable.
They imparted love and self-discipline; faith and character.
This Sunday is MOTHER’S DAY.
HONOR your mother.
Visit.
If you can’t visit call.
Send a card or flowers.
And, if your mother is deceased, do something that will honor her.
Love ya!
