Memory Verse for May 7-13 - Philippians 2:4

COMMENTS ON THIS WEEK'S MEMORY VERSE

Philippians 2:4 - Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

God has given many of us a living example of this verse. Her name was, or is, “Mom”

• She was up with Dad to get him breakfast and to see him off to work. This was a lady who liked to “sleep in”.

• Each child was given breakfast and sent off to school in clean underwear, ironed shirts and dresses with lunch or lunch money in hand.

• Financial sacrifices were made for school field trips and other things that we children needed.

• She was the quiet mediator between Dad and us when he was being somewhat unreasonable.

• She campaigned so I could get my license at age 17. (Dad campaigned so I could actually drive the car!)

• She made us dry dishes and make our own lunches when we were not in school, giving us “one on one” time with her and teaching us how to fend for ourselves.

• She drove 2 ½ hours each way so I could be a witness in a court case.

• She and Dad were seen by us on their knees before going to bed each night.

• She lived Philippians 2:4 before her children.

THANKS MOM!
