The Session - Mothers’ Day
 

Proverbs 31:28–29: "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'"

 

Mothers often feel:

·  Not important

·  Examples

Would someone please let the dog

in?

Dinner time and no one comes

Please put your coat away

Leaving clothes all around your room

 

 

·  Mothers Need Respectful Appreciation

When their needs are respected

(Done) they feel appreciated

Leviticus 19:3: “Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father. I am the LORD your God” (ESV).

 

·  Fathers Should Model Respect

Dad’s should teach their children to respect what mom says and needs. This happens when Dad demonstrates respecting what mom says and needs.

If dad ignores mom, so will the children

 

·  Dad’s should create an atmosphere that celebrates mom and her sacrificial efforts.

Examples

Cooking

Laundry

Taxi Service

·  Husbands speak highly of your wives to the children

 

·  Husbands demonstrate love to your wives in front of the children
