Weekend, May 8, 2021 A Mother's Impact "You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15 NLT). President George Washington said, "The greatest teacher I ever had was my mother." Mothers play such a vital role in our society. Not only do they impact their children, but they also impact their grandchildren and maybe even their great-grandchildren. They impact generations because of the truths they pass on. The apostle Paul wrote to young Timothy about the impact of Timothy's mother and grandmother on his life: "I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you" (2 Timothy 1:5 NLT). This shows us the importance of a godly heritage. For Timothy, it started with his grandmother, Lois, went to his mother, Eunice, and next to Timothy. And then Timothy passed that faith on. If you're a mom, maybe you feel as though you didn't do your job all that well. However, your children are a work in progress. So keep praying for them and never give up, because your impact is greater than you may realize. |
