This document discusses the importance of listening to and learning from the wisdom and counsel of godly mothers. It cites several proverbs that instruct children to listen to their parents and not forsake their mother's teachings. The advice of parents, which comes from knowing God and life experiences, should be bound to one's heart and tied around their neck. If internalized, a mother's counsel will lead, keep, and speak to her children throughout their lives.

Proverbs 6:20-23 20 My son, keep your father's
command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.
21 Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them
around your neck. 22 When you roam, they will lead
you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when
you awake, they will speak with you. 23 For the
commandment is a lamp, And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
