MOTHERLY ADVICE FROM SOME GODLY MOTHERS

Proverbs 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Pastor Rick Jackson

Motherly advice is something many have depended on in order to face life. Who can forget such pearls of wisdom such as:

Don't pick at it or it won't heal.

Always wear clean underwear in case you’re ever in an accident.

Don't talk with food in your mouth. (Or as one harried mother put it, "Don't chew with food in your mouth!")

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything.

If it's not yours, don't touch it

I am sure many of us could sure other motherly bon mots if we had the time but for now let us consider some motherly advice and examples from some godly mothers. As Paul wrote Timothy he reminded him several times of the godly heritage Timothy had gotten from his mother and his grandmother!
