Good morning, and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there joining us. We are so blessed to have you! We are also honoring our two graduates this morning.

Our message this morning comes from Ephesians 6:1-4 which reads:
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
-a mistake repeated is a choice. If a snake bites you, it’s in his nature. If he bites you twice, it’s your fault for sticking your hand back down there.
-Parents are to correct their children but not to harp on a mistake over and over. Nor are they to correct for mistakes that have not yet been made. The punishment should fit the crime and then should not be brought up again, just as Jesus forgives our sine when we confess and He does not hold our past sins against them.
-Our children are a blessing and a gift from God. We are to raise them in His image to go out and portray Him in a world that desperately needs Jesus.
