Memories about Mom on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Heath Lambert and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face.

Perhaps one problem that you're facing this week is how to honor the mom in your life.

Whether she is your wife or your mom, you might be stressing a little bit about what you're

going to do to honor her on Mother's Day this Sunday. And so we wanted to take some time to think about how to

honor the mom in your life. And one of the ways that I thought would be most helpful to do that

is just by thinking about the impact that our mothers have on us. So many of us have wonderful

stories of appreciation that we can tell about our mom. And I invited as our guest this

week, Amber Kamatsu, who is the membership services coordinator at ACBC, and she grew up with a

wonderful mom named Candy. She has all kinds of wonderful stories to tell about the impact that her mom

had on her life. And I thought it

would stir all of us up to honor the moms in our life as we heard one of those stories that she

tells. Amber, I'm glad you're here. Why don't you tell us a story about your mom and just one little

vignette of kind of the impact that she had on your life as you were

growing up.

Sure thing.

You know, I was actually thinking of this last night, just thinking of honoring my mom and

Mother's Day coming up and what I wanted to communicate to her and how I want to do,

really express my thankfulness.

And I started thinking of all the ways that she served me and my family.

And, you know, one way she did it was she homeschooled me for 12 years. That's a big deal.
