  2. Treasures Of A Mother’s Heart • Today is the day in our country that we celebrate as Mother’s Day • Much like Thanksgiving, we should be thankful and appreciative of our Mother’s everyday • Mothers, here are some Mother’s Day cards that you probably don’t want to receive today…

  3. Treasures Of A Mother’s Heart • God knew what He was doing when He created women to be mothers • Our mothers are certainly special to all of us • We too are special to our Mothers! • They certainly treasure their children and the time spent with them!

  4. Treasures Childhood • Certainly a mother treasures the childhood of her children • Our mothers cherish the memories of our childhood • That’s why moms keep pictures, videos, drawings, paintings, art, gifts, and other memories

  5. Treasures Childhood • One such mother who treasured her son’s childhood was Mary, mother of Jesus • Luke 2:19, 51 (ESV) • Although she was the earthly mother of Jesus, Mary was still no different than any mother

  6. Treasures Childhood • Children are a heritage from the Lord (Ps. 127:3) • Think of how much a child meant to women such as Rachel and Hannah • While some saw children as a nuisance, Jesus saw them as precious (Matt. 19:13-15)

  7. Treasures Childhood • Notice the Bible describes a woman with children as “joyful” (Ps. 113:9) • That may be the opposite of what some of our mothers are at times • Perhaps that’s because we as fathers need to be a better help to our mothers

  8. Treasures Future • Mothers also treasure the future of their children • That’s why mothers are willing to do any and everything to ensure their children have a bright future • For an example, look no further than the mother of James and John (Matt. 20:20-28)

  9. Treasures Future • All she wanted was to see her two boys succeed • “A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother” (Prov. 10:1) • “Let your father and your mother be glad, and let her who bore you rejoice” (Prov. 23:25)

  10. Treasures Future • Ephesians 6:2 tells us that to honor our father and mother is the first commandment with promise • “…that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you” (Deut. 5:16)

  11. Treasures Spiritual Training • Mothers have always given us a good example of training up children • The Bible is littered with great examples of this • Hannah stands out as one who promised her son to the Lord (I Sam. 1:11)

  12. Treasures Spiritual Training • “The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him” (Prov. 31:1) • “when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also” (II Tim. 1:5)

  13. Treasures Spiritual Training • “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother” (Prov. 1:8) • Titus 2:3-5 – The older women teach the younger women • Mothers take very seriously the spiritual upbringing of their children
