I saw an article Friday that stated that the value of a stay at home mom was over $117,000 per year.  I guess these experts priced the work according to the world's standards what the worth of the various tasks would be and came up with that number.  I would say that the Mastercard commercial is more applicable to the value of mothers: PRICELESS!!!

The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife.  I am thankful for her support and love.  She is a great wife, a great pastor's wife and a loving mother.  She has been a great support.  The ministry can be very tough and it is even tougher without the support of a great wife. 

Tammy  is more than a teacher in our school, she manages the high school areas, she takes care of our house, counsels as a pastor's wife, is a shuttle service for (how many kids do we have now??) and besides all of this takes care of this big kid!!! Thank you Lord for giving me Tammy.

I also need to express my gratitude to God for a mom who was sooooo wonderful.  My mom was a living example of love.  She would always be there for me and my brother.  She was a good listener, a great supporter, an exhorter and a great cook on top of all that (doesnt it show!!).  She worked full time, kept our house immaculate and managed to keep two boys on track.  Thanks Mom.

I hope each of you took time to reflect on the wonderful ladies that God has placed in your path and thank Him for them.  Because of Him, Pastor.
