Sunday Words of Encouragement - Happy Mother's Day! May 12, 2013

This morning our Pastor's wife shared a message that was on her heart.
She pointed out that mothers are about "family." She opined that God created man because He wanted family and the Gospel is a message of adoption into God's family.
Mrs. P told us about the TV reality show: Duck Dynasty. A&E promoted the program as a family living the American dream of "Money, Family and Ducks" but the family changed the motto to "Faith, Family and Ducks."  The family promotes these values:
Respect - love and forgiveness.
Loyalty - join in family activities; value family time.
Discipline - show the right thing to do and discipline with love.
Happy Home - the home should be the happiest place, a refuge from the world, a peaceful place.
Parents need to slow down from our rushed lives and recognize marriage and family as priority.

To get our attention Mrs. P played a version of this song.
It is surprising and funny!
A Verse for Today
Proverbs 1:8-9 ESV 
Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching, (9) for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.

Thank you Lord for mothers, families and unconditional love.
