Lois and Eunice: Women Who Loved God
II Timothy 1:5

“When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.” II Timothy 1:5.  As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we pay tribute to our mothers.  But most importantly we thank god for mothers who love God.  I am thankful today for a mother who love me enough to teach me about the Lord and who took me to church even when I laid in bed kicking and screaming that I didn’t want to go to church that day.  I thank god today for Christian mothers.

I am thinking this morning of two Christian mothers.  Two moms who according to the world view were relatively unimportant, but in God’s eyes just the opposite.  A team whose names cannot be separated today.  A mother and daughter team whose sincere faith and view of the Holy Scriptures made a lasting impact on one child in particular.  A mother and a grandmother who are forever memorialized in God’s word.  Lois and Eunice.
