Three’s Company

I love May! Spring is my favorite time of the year! Who can appreciate the warm weather and sunshine more than people who have been through a long, cold winter? It brightens my spirits and reminds me how awesome God is and wonderful His creation.

We have been busy all week making Mother’s Day surprises, watching our butterflies, going to chapel with Pastor, learning our numbers and our Bible story about Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:5 & 3:14-15:

I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also…But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

What a great influence mothers (and fathers too) have on their children. Sometimes it is overwhelming to think that everything we say and do can have a profound, life long or even eternal affect on them. How fortunate, we, who know Christ can rest in the assurance that Jesus loves our little ones even more than we ever could. We won’t always know the answers to all the crisis that will come up in our children’s lives but we know the One who does. My prayer for you is that you will always go to the One who created your child for the answers in caring for them. May you, just as Eunice and Lois, teach your children the truth of God as he shares Himself to us in the Bible.

This Mother’s Day I would like to share with  you books that have taught, convicted and changed me to be a better mom.
