Mother's Day 2006

Here are the happy eaters. Sally, Kristen Joy, Anna, Mom Parish, Grandma McAllister, Jeremy, Joseph, Mark, Simon, Ruthann, and...and...oops, I cut my dear wife out of the picture! We are thankful for all mothers!


God has commanded us to honor our mothers and He hooked a promise to that command...that our days would be long in the land. We recently heard that did not necessarily mean a long life, but it meant a continuation of generations, enjoying God's blessing as a result of the honor of parents.










We also discussed the circle of life in the generations recorded in the Bible...many mother's names mentioned, representing much sorrow and joy over the course of many years...mothers deeply involed in it all!


Sally copied out quotes from "Daugher's of Destiny" which she passed around for each to read, showing the impact mothers have made on lives of famous men. Of course, many non-famous men, nameless, have been encouraged in doing their duty by faithful mothers, making a difference in ways that only God knows and keeps recorded in His book of those who love Him and speak often of Him.


And here are two happy Parish ladies. One mother in Isreal, and one dauther of the King.
