Care and concern for mom

Thursday - 5/17 - Read John 19:25-27

These verses apply to all stages of our relationship with our mom. Even after she passes away there should be a care and concern in the way you remember her, but we want to focus on how we show a care and concern for her the way Jesus did as his mom stood at the foot of the cross.

We looked at Proverbs 23:22. It warns us not to "despise our mother when she is old." What are some ways we can despise her?

Do you know neglected elderly moms? It's not only sad and tragic, God takes note of this.

Do you have an elderly mom? Does she have needs and concerns she can no longer take care of?

What are you doing about them?

Do we have to wait till mom is old to do this?

Do we have to wait until we're out of the nest to do this?

What are some ways we can show care and concern for mom even when she is young and completely healthy?

We sent you home with a cake mix to bake a cake for mom last Sunday. Did you bake it? Did you use the right ingredients? Did you clean up after you baked the cake? Let that cake remind you of the ingredients of submission, obedience, respect, honor, care and concern you need to use every day in your relationship with your mom.
