The lesson on May 8, 2011 celebrated Mother's Day with the scripture reading from Proverbs 31:10-31 KJV "10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
The lesson on May 9, 2010 celebrated Mother's Day. The scripture reading was in Exodus 2:1-3 KJV "2 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink." This passage speaks to the love of a mother.
Mothers Day 2009 - The lesson on May 10, 2009 celebrated Mothers Day and started with the scripture reading in Psalms 113. You may think that the passage in Psalms 113 is a strange one to celebrate Mothers Day but it starts with a “hallelujah” and ends with a “hallelujah” which means Praise Ye the Lord. Even though we want to recognize Mothers today, it’s even more important to give God the praise in what He has done for us. That’s what is going on in Psalms 113.
The lesson on May 11, 2008 was on Mother's Day 2008 and the scripture reading was from Proverbs 6:20-24 KJV "20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman."
Mother’s Day. The lesson on May 13, 2007 celebrates Mother’s Day with a lesson on Genesis 4:1-7 with the first children who were born and the first to celebrate having a mom. Genesis 4:1-4 “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Mother’s Day - God promised a saviour to mankind through the seed of woman when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Adam called her Eve because she was the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20). It took several years from that point in time to deliver the baby Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. Mother’s play a very important role in the family unit.
The lesson on May 8, 2005 was on Mother's Day and the scripture reading was in Matthew 22:34-40 KJV "34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
The lesson on May 9, 2004 was celebrating Mother's Day and the scripture reading was in Proverbs 31:9-12 KJV. "9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."
Sarah’s Example. The first woman mentioned in the great chapter of faith (Hebrews 11:11) is Abraham’s wife Sarah. The lesson on May 11, 2003, celebrates Mother’s Day with a lesson about Sarah, the mother of Israel. There was something special about Sarah since she was identified by God in Hebrews 11:11 as a “heroine” of faith. Not only do we learn about her faith, but this lesson teaches us all about the pursuit of Godliness, which applies to both men and women. God does not expect us to live a perfect life, that’s why Christ died for our sins.
“Every wise woman builds her house.” We learn so much from mothers. Someone once said that they learned religion from their mom when she said “You better pray that this comes out of the carpet!” The wise mother knows that Betty Crocker is a cookbook for the kitchen but the bible is the cookbook for the soul. A child first receives wisdom from their parents. As Proverbs 4:1-3 (KJV) states “Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
