INTRODUCTION:

            Today we celebrate Mother’s Day, a day set aside each year for our mothers.  Charles Swindoll wrote this in his book Strong Family:  “The following is a list of ‘I owe you’s’ which apply to mothers all over the country, all of which are long overdue. Stop after each one and consider the priceless value of the one who made your life possible—your mother.

Dear Mom:

            As I walk through my museum of memories,

            I owe you—for your time.  Day and night.

INTRODUCTION:

            Last Sunday we began to look at Jephthah the Gileadite, a valiant warrior who in the beginning was an outcast of his own people but rose to become commander of the forces of Gilead and head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.  Jephthah accomplished this through the art of negotiation with the elders of Gilead.  We ended last week at Mizpah of Gilead, where what Jephthah had negotiated with the elders of Gilead was ratified before the LORD and the people of Gilead.
