The Godly Role of a Mother and Grandmother

Written by Lillian Penner

“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)

If Timothy’s grandmother Lois had not beenfaithful in passing on her faith to her daughter Eunice and her grandson Timothy we probably would not have First and Second Timothy in the Bible today. This is a good generational example of the importance of passing on the faith to future generations. Lois is our forerunner who modeled grandmothering for us.

A Servant's Heart

When it comes to your family, do you have a servant's heart?

I was chatting with my mother a few weeks ago. She was talking about some typical things that she does for my step-father. Listening to her, I was so thoroughly impressed. I mean, she works well over 40 hours a week just like he does. But, she still managed to do things like driving nearly an hour out of her way to get to a special store and buy his favorite flavor of water! 

I quickly found myself quite furious - But not for the reason that you might think.
