              Meet Women of the Bible

Athaliah:  Athaliah parents were Ahab and Jezebel.   She was granddaughter of Omri King of Israel. Her father arranged a marriage between Athaliah and Jehoram to help cement an alliance between Judah and Israel.  Their son was Ahaziah who served as King of Judah for one year as Ahaziah was slain in the revolution of Jehu.  Athalian immediately seized power and became Queen of Judah. Her first order was a massacre of all the royal family. All were killed except for Joash (son of Ahaziah) who was hidden away for six years by Jehosheba, Ahaziah's sister to later become king.  When Athaliah realized that Joash was being crowned king,  she tried to stop the process but failed. Jehoida the priest had his captains to seize her and put her to death with the sword which was done at the entrance of the horse gate of the king's house.  Both mother and son had done evil in the sight of the Lord.​

​Song:       America the Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thorough fare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.

America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Ephesian 6:4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Psalms 127:3-5
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. 
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. 
5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
