Wiser and Wealthier

Mother's Day

"There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. The ransom of man's life are his riches" (Proverbs 13:7,8). "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom from many" (Mark 10:45). "I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice.... and that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 1:5, 3:15).

Mothers, as your children grow
And as you work to keep them healthy,
Tell them what they ought to know
To make them truly wise and wealthy.

Wise, that is, unto salvation
Through their faith in Jesus Christ.
Wealthy by His invitation;
Ransomed through His sacrifice.

Mothers, you cannot aspire
To a wiser, richer end
For your children to desire,
Than in Christ, their truest Friend.
