Some notes from Sunday's service.
(Thanks, Heather)
First of all... Happy Mother's Day!! At the end of service, ALL ladies were given a rose, because we as women have great influence and have a mother's heart!
Here's a recap of service Sunday night:
Something to Think About
- 1905 Anna Jarvis, from Grafton, West Virginia, campaigned to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday. It was rejected til 1911, due to her great efforts, where all States observed the holiday.
- Because the holiday was becoming so commercialized, Anna threatened lawsuits against the commercialism; but to no avail.
- Anna was not the first to recognize women; ALL through the ages, there are events/celebrations honoring women.
- As Mother's took jobs and became a part of the working society, the 'role' of wives/mother's changed.
- The support, security, love, warmth changed... kids don't seem to need so much support.
- The greatest thing a mother can do is to plant the seed of faith. Yes it takes alot of seeding, alot of watering, alot of planting, lots of fertilizer... it is soooo important!
- When women plant seeds, only God knows what will come out of it!
- How important are our mothers (women)!
The Message ~ Jacquie Ross
- "Before I was a Mother Poem" (below)
- Mother's famous words... before you do something out of my sight, KNOW I'll find out!
- Isn't that like God!!!
- Little white lies... you only know how stained we become when we measure ourselves to God's standards.
- Every Mother's Heard is moving outside your comfort zone and being sacrificial.
- It is God who is love. 1 John 4:7+
- It's through our day-to-day experiences that bring us closer to Christ.
- Letting His love flow through us so to impact our world.
- Watch what God does... and do it!
- God didn't LOVE to 'get' something from us, but to give us everything!!
- Don't waste your time on worthless deeds.
- Like putting off little problems with a car, you could end up with a car not worth fixing/repairing.
- This is like life, when we neglect self-examination... except although Jesus will NEVER turn us away!
- $10, after being soiled, would you use it?? Once cleaned up, now would you use it?? Has it lost it's value or worth?
- Who should separate us from God? No one. Nothing. No muck. No wrong decisions.
- Do you need to repent for His sake? NO, you repent for you sake.
- His love is not human!!
Please watch the video attached below. It's a baby having a conversation with God. So touching!
I hope you honored your mom (or women who have influenced you) in some way on Mother's Day!!
Cheers
Heather
