Well, let me have you, turn in your Bibles to Romans, chapter one, Romans chapter one for our time of study in the word this morning. I do want you ladies to know I really struggled mightily with what to preach on this morning being Mother's Day. Normally, I will preach a, a separate special sermon for, for, the moms, but I decided today to, do part four, which is the final part of our mini series on getting to the place of, forgiveness. And there were a few reasons that went into that, that I'd like, to, share, with you.
One of the reasons is if I don't do this now, then we're not going to be able to get to the place of forgiveness until at the earliest, the first Sunday of June. And I think that might have been frustrating to, to some of you, including your mom. So we're covering this today. Also, I, as I thought about it, this, covering this topic has a tremendous amount to do with, with motherhood that would be of great practical help to the moms.
Think about it, ladies. is it not true that forgiveness is one of the best gifts that your husband and children can give you? You want forgiveness, right? And so I'm going to preach to them this morning.
And if my sermon can help them in their journey toward forgiving you for ways that you fall short, then I feel like I have blessed you in, in that endeavor. One of the things that I've noticed is that any woman that has been a mom for any length of time, often feels like a failure. I don't know that I've ever met a mom. I know that I've never met a mom 1520 years into parenting who has said to me, what, Pastor Milton, I had really high hopes for myself as a mother, and doggone it, I have exceeded my highest expectations for myself as a mom....
