Conclusion:

1. If you are a mother here today that has children in the home, strive to live this out.

2. Single moms, I know it’s tough on your own; but that just means that you are going to have to let God fill in the gaps. He does much better than any of us men do anyhow.

3. If you are a mother here today that your children are grown; then you are to help these younger mothers as God tells you to do so in Titus 2.

4. Moms, be a mother that leads her children to Jesus through her actions, words, and life.

5. Mothers, you greatly matter. If you quit, Malachi 2:10-16 will become your family.
