This Sunday we will celebrate the gift of Motherhood. Mothers do many great things for us, so I thought I would share some seeds that they have planted within us…
Mothers teach us about foresight:
"Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you’re in an accident."
Mothers teach us about logic:
"If you fall out of that tree and break your neck,
don’t come crying to me."
Mothers teach us about maturity:
"Eat your vegetables or you’ll never grow up."
Mothers teach us about religion:
"You better pray that comes out of the carpet."
Mothers teach us about time travel:
"If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you
into the middle of next week!"
Mothers teach us about contradictions:
"Shut your mouth and eat your dinner!"
Mothers teach us about contortionism:
"Will you look at the dirt on the back of your neck?"
Mothers teach us about perseverance:
"You are going to sit here until you eat
every last piece of that broccoli."
Mothers teach us about genetics:
"You’re just like your father."
Mothers teach us about the weather:
"It looks like a tornado swept through your room."
Mothers teach us about the circle of life:
"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out!"
Most of all, mothers teach us what it means to love!
“I love you to the moon and back!”
I hope you can join us this Sunday for the sermon: Seeds of Love. We will celebrate the gift of Moms and those who have been mothers to us in life. And we will celebrate the faith of our young people with services of Baptism and Confirmation! What a day it will be!
Pentecost! May 19 is Pentecost Sunday - feel free to wear red!
Bell Ringing Good Time! May 19 is also when the Gateway Ringers will be at GT, 3:00pm, for a glorious concert of bells!
Vision for 2024:
A House United:
Strong Faith, Strong Families, Strong Future!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
Blessings,
Pastor Linda
