A brief presentation on motherhood by Fanny. She looks at motherhood from three perspectives: the marketplace, the culture, and Scripture.
Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. –Proverbs 22:28
I call upon You, Lord, God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob and Israel, You who are the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God who, through the abundance of your mercy, was well-pleased towards us so that we may know You, who made heaven and earth, who rules over all, You who are the one and the true God, above whom there is no other God; You who, by our Lord Jesus Christ gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit, give to every one who reads this writing to know You, that You alone are God, to be strengthened in You, and to avoid every heretical and godless and impious teaching.
St Irenaeus of Lyons, Against the Heresies 3:6:4

This is wonderful. Every church should play this in Sunday School, Bible Study, and small groups.
ReplyDeleteBishop Campbell,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words. I owe a great deal of this speech to Kevin and his ability to take ideas and transform them into meaningful statements. He is an incredible source of inspiration for me. Motherhood has been, and continues to be, one of the greatest gifts the Lord has chosen to bless me with. I only pray that the words that I expressed are what I attempt to display daily in the life of my daughter. Thank you again.
