All of us did not have a godly mother.
Praying continually
2 Timothy 1:1–5 (KJV 1900)
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
Abraham L. “No one is poor who had a godly mother”
Remembering the hymns and songs
Public expression for love and reverence for mothers = mother’s day
The Bible was honored
I think about how much my mom has helped and influenced me

faith that was real
sincere, honest, genuine

they were
There was no faking or putting on a show

It was their being
Lois and Eunice had a deep, abiding, consistent faith
