Happy Mom's Day ( a little late)

I want to wish everyone a Happy Mom's Day!
Genesis 2: 20-23
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.


It was a great message at church yesterday. About God creating woman, her role, and most of all about love and faith. A mother's job is love and spiritual inspiration. Our pastor comes from a large family and his dad is also a wonderful pastor. He told us that someone once asked him "Who has been your biggest inspiration from a spiritual view point?" Our pastor said his mom. What an awesome responsibility the Lord gives us. He trusts us with His children, and then trusts US (sinners) to teach those same children about Him. I will stand in front of God and hear Him take account for all of my sins, and yet, not teaching my children of Him and His Son is not a statement that I want to be in judgment of. I want to teach my children love, His love, faith, hope, prayer, giving, forgiveness, repentance, kindness, meekness, peace, fruitfulness, righteousness, and most importantly the Word. I know that the quickest way to teach all these things.... to live them....
What an awesome thought that God created man and said...He is not complete.... and He created woman and then He provides a way for us to spend eternity with Him.
1 Timothy 2 4-6
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
