Happy Mothers Day!

I just wanted to say Happy Mothers Day to all you moms that read my blog. I hope you have a wonderful day. At church this morning the sermon was about God Fearing Mothers and I just thought I would share with you the layout of it.
We were in the book of Proverbs in the last chapter. When we left the women received a book mark and this is what is on it. It sums of this passage.

A Portrait of God Fearing Mothers
Proverbs 31:10-31

God-fearing mothers .....
1. are rare and hard to find
2. are priceless
3. are trusted by their husbands
4. make great marital companions
5. embrace their responsibilities joyfully
6. manage their households well
7. exhibit financial wisdom
8. are generous and eager to help those in need
9. are diligent family planners
10. empower their husbands
11. are resourceful
12. dress with dignity
13. face the future anxiety and worry free ( he also referenced Matt 6:6 with this one)
14. speak words of wisdom in a tone of kindness
15. reject laziness and maximize the moment
16. are respected by their families
17. take good care of themselves, but realize beauty is fading
18. fear God above all
19. are respected in their communities
20. exemplify a sacrificial attitude by putting others first

I just thought it was great reminder for us woman and how we live our lives as God Fearing woman. We can get so caught up in the fast passed world sometimes that we forget or dont take time to spend with our heavenly father. To be the best God fearing mother is to sit in the presence of Jesus Christ every day cause he is the one who is going to help us through our day. Our pastor encouraged us to pick three of these points and work on them in our daily lives. With the crazy world out there we have to equip our children and get them ready to face this world that we are raising them in. To me its scary, but with God by our side we can handle it. So I encourage all you mothers to do the same.

To my mom and Petes mom: Happy Mothers day! I wish I could give you a hug today but hopefully I can in a few weeks. Thank you so much for all that you do for us. You both are great role models and I look up to you more than you know. You have shaped and prepared me to be a great mom and I am forever thankful for that. I love you both. Happy Mothers Day!
