Well it’s Mother’s day this Sunday and it’s been exciting for us as we are having our first indoor service at Pioneer Jr. High (it was hot last week!). In the midst of all the new location preparations, the printing and handing out invitations, getting and setting up the audio / video equipment, buying changing tables, swings, crafts for the children’s ministry and let's not forget the paper work and legal insurance stuff. I noticed how so many of the things that we care about and pour ourselves into have to be patiently nurtured and cared for, even as a mom does with her child. Is it exhausting? You bet. Do we worry? Well, unfortunately we do. Is it exciting? Yes, beyond words. What a great example and illustration the Lord has given us in these relationships, even for those who may have had relationships that have been less than what they should be, there is still the hint of God’s whisper in all of our hearts to what this relationship is meant to be.
As one whom his mother comforts,
So I will comfort you… (Isaiah 66:13)
So for those of us who have had great examples from our moms and for those who know it only as a desire of what it should be, I hope this brings a beautiful, comforting and clear picture of how much God powerfully cares for you.
Happy Mother’s Day
