1 - THE ATTENTIVE MOM - Luke 2:18-19, 2:51 , John 2:1-10
Mary observed her child and knew Him as well as anyone on this earth. She also remembered those things that he said and did.
2 - THE AMBITIOUS MOM - Matthew 20:20 -23
The mother of James and John was certainly ambitious for her children.
Many a child has been pushed too far by parents who wanted them to achieve more than the child was capable of or more than he desired to do.
3 - THE ARTICULATE MOM (AND GRANDMOM) - 2 Timothy 1:5, 3:15
His Mother and Grandmother communicated faith and the scriptures to Timothy when Timothy was very young. We need to articulate the Scriptures to our children as well.
4 - THE ADOPTED MOM - Romans 16:13
The mother of Rufus was not Paul's literal mom. She had acted towards him in a motherly way. Praise God for those Godly older women who have "mothered" us when we needed it. Praise God when God allows you to nurture younger Christians as kind of an adopted mother.
