Mom


Today is mother's day and I remember that my mother was probably my best teacher. She knew how to take those teachable moments and use them to tell me about life and God. It was one of those moments when she prayed with me and I acknowledge Jesus as my Saviour. Both Moses and Joshua understood those teachable moments. That is one of the reasons that Joshua had the people erect two piles of stones. When the children asked what they meant the people were told to take that moment and teach your children. I am so grateful that I had a mother that did that. Though my mother has been dead for almost twenty years she still continues to teach me. We need to seize the moment but we also need to have a teachable spirit.
