"Honoring Mothers"

1. The value of a Mother

Designed by God

20 The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
- Genesis 3:20 (ESV)
27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.
- Genesis 1:27 (ESV)
“Motherhood – More honorable than any Profession. When all is said, it is the mother, and the mother only, who is a better citizen than the soldier who fights for his country. The successful mother, the mother who does her part in rearing and training aright the boys and girls, who are to be the men and women of the next generation, is of greater use to the community, and occupies, if she only would realize it, a more honorable as well as more important position than any man in it. The mother is the one supreme asset of the national life. She is more important, by far, than the successful statesman, or businessman, or artist, or scientist.” 
- Theodore Roosevelt

3. Mothers Deserve Honor

25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
- John 19:25-27 (ESV)
