In honor of Mother’s Day, Good News Wants to Know… What is something your mother did or said that had a lasting impact on you? Mom was so faithful about reading the Bible together as a family (“you can eat real food – so therefore you have time for spiritual food”) and about designating Sundays as a sabbath rest (a time to spend with the Lord and not work).
