Mom: The Heart of the Home
Rick White
Proverbs 24:3-4; II Timothy 1:1-7
May 9, 1993
By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3-4
For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in y our grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. And for this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. 2 Tim. 1:5-7
Introduction: Today is mother's day and we have the joy of honoring our mom's on this special day. For some it is a day filled with all kinds of emotions because of the special relationships that we have to our mothers.
For some the word mother, conjures up images of June Cleaver, complete with lace apron and pearls-singing lullabies, baking brownies, and kissing away the Beavers hot tears. Still others envision the Erma Bombeck model, who drives a wood-paneled station wagon and whose hobby is dust. Yet still for the younger generation some may even envision the Roseanne type of mode.
Whatever the type, no one has more influence than a mother. For better or worse, she will forever impact the life of her child. Abraham Lincoln was right: "No one is poor who had a godly mother."
Without rehearsing all that is wrong with our nation and how far we have drifted from some traditional models in the family, I want to present a positive challenge to the people who can shape the hearts of future generations.
