This coming Sunday is one of the most special days of the year - Mother's Day. I know that many men fuss and complain, saying that it's really not a "real holiday," and blame the greeting card companies for creating a day so that they can sell more cards. However, even if there were not an official day set aside to honor and express our love to the mother's in our lives there should be a day set aside to do just that.
As the the father of a very young family I want to make sure that my children learn to honor and express their love for their mom. I want them to learn by watching me honor and express my love for my mother, as well as their mother. I want to show them simple ways of expressing their love, appreciation and respect for their mom.
The past two nights my family has had the wonderful privilege of being a part of Abilene Baptist Church's AWANA ministry's recognition services. On Wednesday night I watched as our children received their awards for scripture memory, Sunday School attendance and club attendance. Last night we enjoyed a time of recognizing the AWANA workers at their annual banquet. It was a tremendous time with people who have a great love for God, His Word and children.
