Wealth

I have to admit something right from the get go. My thoughts today are on a lot of things, one of which is the passing of the mother of some of my childhood friends. These friends of mine are good reminders of the influence of a godly mother.

Their parents divorced years before I even met them, yet, they have grown to be Christians, and active Christians. One is a preacher, the others active church members. But, most important, all are Christians. The influence of their godly mother is definitely manifested in the lives they live.

With this thought in mind, today's word is a quote from Abraham Lincoln that says, "No man is poor who has had a godly mother."

I am grateful that I have been blessed with a godly family. Perfect, no. Godly, yes. We were taught at an early age to pray and to seek GOD. Once we were saved, we were shown that we might fail but if we pray for forgiveness, GOD will forgive. The value of godly parents can never be overstated.

To all the godly parents out there, THANK YOU! Keep up the good work! When all earthly treasures fail, the wealth of godly parents will forever stand.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
