“Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results” Albert Einstein “The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.” — Francis Chan Proverbs 31:15-16 NIV She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions (Task) for her female servants. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. Ephesians 6:2 NIV "Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— Proverbs 10:1(b) NIV A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother. Romans 12:10 NIV Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves 1 Corinthians 7:5 NIV Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Psalm 68:5 NIV A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. Isaiah 49:15 NLT “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!
