* The best job of all is raising up kids who love Jesus.

* Nobody can do that job for your kids better than you.

* Anyone can replace you at a meeting, but nobody can at the ballgame.

* Paul was Timothy’s mentor, but the spark of Tim’s faith came from his mom and grandma.

* Vs 4-5 - they didn’t have a book or blog or on the speaking circuit, but they were faithful to raise a young boy who would turn the world upside down for Christ.

* A river touches places its source knows nothing of.

* Tim’s mom was faithful when nobody was watching.

* Much like the mom who packed the lunch for the kid who’s lunch Jesus used to feed the 5,000.

* My mom did the same thing.

* Anyone could’ve spoken at a conference or written a book I read, but only one person could’ve walked my lunch up to me at school - and she was faithful to do just that.

* As a parent, what do you do?

* Run at the pace of your people.

* Whatever the pace is in your kids’ lives, wrap your life around that.
