Motherhood Matthew 5:14-15

Ladies I do not know if any of you have heard of Mary Lee Bright but she was a wonderful example of motherhood.

Mary was the mother of 7 and she held out a light for her family in more than one way.  Her son, Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ International, said of her "The greatest influence in my life has been my mother's life and prayers.  She was the most godly person I have ever known."
I read about her a while back and here is a little example of what she was like:
     Is that you Bill?  Mary called in the darkness.  yes mom it is I he answered in the distance Bill could see the faint light his mother carried.
     When the Bright children stayed after school to participate in extracurricular activities, often it was evening when they arrived home.  Concerned for their well-being, their mother would meet them on the dark road and guide them safely home with her lantern.
       The world is a dark place; there is a need for light.  you can be that light.  Reflect godly attributes and a prayerful attitude, and people will be drawn to Christ.  Even one faint glow in the blackness of night makes a difference.  Remember ladies we are a very important light to our children and grandchildren.  I have failed many times but keep on going.  Be a light to our children today.  Spend time with the Lord and them and enjoy.

I love you all
