12 May 2013 - ENCS

Pastor Charles Curtis had several things to say
On "And The Winner Is" series this Mother's Day
A tradition started by a Methodist lady 100 years ago
It soon reached the White House so now we all know
He based his sermon on Ephesians 6 verses 1-3
"Honor your father and mother" is what we did see
This commandment comes with a promise too
Saying that in return "it may go well with you"
 
Our mothers we should honor and remember
We should respect, revere, prize, and value her
This comes from "timao" which means honor in Greek
A language into which Pastor Charles often does peek
We should honor for merit and position, he also did note
Remember that for nine months, our mothers did us tote
Pastor said that work is the job description of motherhood
For young children, being obedient to show honor is good
When older, a relationship of respect with deeds and prayer
Will show our mothers how much we thank them and care
 
About generational faith in 2 Timothy 1:5 Paul did write
Both Timothy's mother and grandmother Paul did cite
We can be the product of generational faith, Pastor did tell
Teaching our children to pray, we can pass it on as well
In teaching things, mothers have a critical role to play
They teach more than anyone else, Pastor did say
This is in line with 2 Timothy 3 verses fourteen and fifteen
"You know those from whom you have learned" is seen
There is also little more powerful than a mother's prayer
Her faith propels the child, because she always does care
 
So here's wishing all mothers a Happy Mother's Day
We thank you all, what you have done we cannot repay
Our lives you continually and positively effect
So you deserve all sorts of honour and respect
