Pre Mother's Day

Mother's Day is still 5 days away, but with our weekly gathering being on Tuesday nights I thought it would be fitting to focus on Mother's Day anyway. Mother's are special anytime, so if it's 5 days before the official holiday who really cares.
Tonight I was talking about the 3 core values of a Godly mom being sincere faith, strong faith, and stirring faith. My passage was 2 Timothy 1:5, and I had taken these 3 points from what Paul had said about Timothy's grandma Lois, and his mother Eunice. Paul was commenting on how Timothy obviously had a great faith example from his grandma and mother to draw on that stirred him to want to become such a strong believer and witness for Christ. As I was speaking I realized that I was like Timothy. I too have a rich heritage of strong Christian faith in my grandma and mom that I have never really realized and probably taken for granted. So I stopped and took a moment and thanked mom who was sitting in front of me. I am proud to have such a great strong heritage to draw from. I'm no Timothy, but we do have something in common.
