Growing A Heart That Seeks For God                         grp191
The Meaning of Motherhood
Ice-Breaker: Describe something that your Mom did for you or for your family.

Exodus 20: 12Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you. (CEV)

Deuteronomy 27: 16We ask the LORD to put a curse on all who do not show respect for their father and mother.(CEV)

Exodus 2: 1A man from the Levi tribe married a woman from the same tribe, 2and she later had a baby boy. He was a beautiful child, and she kept him inside for three months. 3But when she could no longer keep him hidden, she made a basket out of reeds and covered it with tar. She put him in the basket and placed it in the tall grass along the edge of the Nile River. (CEV)

1 Kings 3: 26"Please don't kill my son," the baby's mother screamed. "Your Majesty, I love him very much, but give him to her. Just don't kill him." The other woman shouted, "Go ahead and cut him in half. Then neither of us will have the baby." 27Solomon said, "Don't kill the baby." Then he pointed to the first woman, "She is his real mother. Give the baby to her." (CEV)

2 Timothy 1: 5I also remember the genuine faith of your mother Eunice. Your grandmother Lois had the same sort of faith, and I am sure that you have it as well. (CEV)

Proverbs 1: 8My child, obey the teachings of your parents, 9and wear their teachings as you would a lovely hat or a pretty necklace. (CEV)

Proverbs 23: 22Pay attention to your father, and don't neglect your mother when she grows old. (CEV)

Proverbs 31: 10A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find!....
15She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and for her servants....
21Her family has warm clothing, and so she doesn't worry when it snows....
25She is strong and graceful, as well as cheerful about the future. 26Her words are sensible, and her advice is thoughtful. 27She takes good care of her family and is never lazy. 28Her children praise her, and with great pride her husband says, 29"There are many good women, but you are the best!" 30Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away, but a woman who honors the LORD deserves to be praised. 31Show her respect - praise her in public for what she has done. (CEV)
