Mother's Day Message

Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you Deuteronomy 5:16 (NKJV). 

Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV). 

Parent hood and marriage are both about sacrifice. You can't be selfish and have a good parent child relationship or a good marriage with your spouse. The reason why is God intended both the roles of spouse and parent to be selfless roles. We see a reference of the giving and loving of our spouse in Ephesians 5:25. In Deuteronomy 11:19 you are told to raise your kids right, even to the point of suggesting you teach them at all times, when your sitting, walking, day, night ,whenever, etc. That takes time and yes sacrifice. People don't realize sometimes the sacrifices parents have to make, to teach or care for their children. We sometimes take it for granted, or think our parents always had it easy, or that they will always be around. Same thing with marriage we can take each other for granted or not realize the sacrifices being made by the spouse. Parent hood or marriage are also not always easy callings. There will always be disagreements but by the grace of God a family will stick together no matter what! So, happy mothers day to y'all. God's peace to those that reflect this day on the mother they have lost. God be with you all: Father, son, and holy spirit , amen!
