Mother's Day 2014

Today was an awesome day at NRN!  I sensed the leading of the Lord to continue in the teaching series from the book of Galatians and did not preach a traditional Mother's Day message.  I am taking this time now to post a tribute to all the moms who are part of our church and all those who follow my blog.  For my pastor friends - please feel free to collect this information for next year to express thanks to all moms.



A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
― Washington Irving

How vital are mother’s influence and teaching in the home—and how apparent when neglected!
― Ezra Taft Benson


God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul.
― Phyllis McGinley


(Mothers) worry only about those we brought into this world, regardless of whether they loved us back or treated us fairly or understood our shortcomings.

 I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.

You may have tangible wealth untold; caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you can never be. I had a mother who read to me.

The daughter of a good mother will be the mother of a good daughter.
