What My Mother Taught Me.

What my mother taught me.

Proverbs 31 10--28

10Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

A mothers love is next to God

A MOTHERS LOVE IS IN HER TEARS

Matt:2-18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Weeping for their heart

Wounded when her children are wounded.

Weary but keeps going day and night

MOTHERS LOVE IN HER TESTIMONY

John 2 -5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

Mother cares in sickness and health

Mother commands

Mothers concern about the welfare of her family.

MOTHERS LOVE IS IN HER TRAINING

PROVERBS 22--6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The scriptures her guide

Her strict rule

Satisfaction of Gods promises

MOTHERS LOVE IN TENDERNESS

Isaiah 1-- 26And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

Shows love that only a mother would

Dedicated her children in her prayers.

Desired the child from the lord in prayer.

MOTHERS LOVE IN HER TOUCH.

Ezekiel 16 -- 44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

Her ways she touched her children

Her words shall touch her children

Her works shall touch her children.

MOTHERS LOVE AT THE TABLE.

Psalms 128--1Psalm 128

1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

THE LORDS LOVE IS MUCH GREATER

Romans 5--8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

His love is unending

His love is unchanging

His love is unlimited.
