Scripture
Text: Proverbs
6:20 My son, keep your father's commands and do not forsake your mother's
teaching. 21 Bind them upon your heart forever; fasten them around your neck.
22 When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over
you; when you awake, they will speak to you. 23 For these commands are a lamp,
this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to
life.

1.
The importance of God’s teaching through our Mothers.
23 For
these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of
discipline are the way to life. As
our mothers have raised us before we knew, their teaching and influence still
give us life. Our mothers are our
direct connection to God. Since
from God we came then to God we go, our connection to God is our mothers. They gave us life physically and spiritually.
