Mother's Day

Proverbs 31:10:"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." (KJV)

 

I desire to take a moment and send a "Happy Mother's Day" to my Mother, my wife, our "adopted" daughter, our daughter-in-laws, our sisters, and our sister-in-laws and our nieces. As you can tell my life has been blessed to know some awesome women of God who have not only revealed their love for God but also revealed their love for their families. They have been and continue to be women who are committed to God as well as committed to the well-being of their families. Ann and I have been privileged to have crossed paths with some awesome and wonderful women who have modeled the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 through our service in the Ministry. We need to make sure that we take the appropriate action of honoring those wonderful and precious ladies and let them realize that we know that they are a treasure sent from God. Our world is in desperate need for Proverbs 31 women today. Women who understand the importance of God directing their lives as well as women who understand the importance of taking care of their families. I am praying that during the next few days that God will speak to this generation of women and let them see that we need godly examples on display to the children and youth that are being raised in our world. Would you join with me in that prayer today? Would you also pray that God will provide the strength and courage that your Mother and wife need to "fight the good fight of faith" and live the life that would influence our society in a positive manner?

 

We also take a moment and remember those Mothers who have already preceded us in death. My wife is in that category today. Her Mother passed away in 1974 at the young age of 41. We realize that these ladies have passed on to their eternal reward but their influence continues to exist to this very day. They may be out of our earthly sight but they are certainly not forgotten. We recognize their commitment to God and we remember their commitment to their families with love and appreciation.

I also desire to send Mother's Day Greetings to the Mothers in the New River Worship Center fellowship. We are truly blessed with some wonderful women of God who are great role models not only to their families but also to their extended church family. They exemplify servanthood, prayer, love, concern and care for others as well as numerous other Christian attributes. We recognize and appreciate those "Mother's of the Church" that bless us on a daily basis.
