2 Timothy 1:5

I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. 2 Timothy 1:5

From my newsletter:

As we come upon Mother’s Day, we want to honor and remember all the wonderful things our mothers have done for us. As a mother myself, I appreciate and understand my mother even more! I think about the sacrifices she made for my brother and I and the things she did out of love, not out of necessity. I particularly remember this when my own daughters request something of me that I am not really interested in doing, but remember my mother being there and providing for me!

This month’s verse comes from 2 Timothy 1:5 and reminds us what is really important in our roles as mothers. There isn’t much mention of these two remarkable women in the Bible, but Timothy must have been heavily influenced in the home. Their faith and belief helped Timothy become a believer, trusted friend to Paul and respected leader in the church. As a mother and/or grandmother we have the greatest influence over our children. Are you passing down your faith to your children? We will be discussing more about this later with faithbooks!

He came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was a Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a Greek. Acts 16:1

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:14-15
