A Day for Mothers at McDermot!

We all have one thing in common....we wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mom. This Sunday we will once again direct our attention to a God who in his great wisdom gave us a mother to demonstrate the care that God has designed for each one of us. I read through the list of top 10 things that moms hate on mothers day and had to laugh at some of them and almost cry at the others. Things like.....it's not a day off for them. They still have to cook and clean and get almost everyone ready for whatever and so it's not really a day where they can say, "we really got a break." Breakfast in bed may be a nice thought, but how many of us really want breakfast in bed???I'd just as soon have mine on the deck with the shining down and my Bible open with a steaming mug of something right beside my freshly squeezed Orange Juice....but that's just me. The one that caught my attention was where the husband wasn't making a big deal about his wife's role as mother and even made the comment... "she's not my mother!" Like that excuses him from loving and demonstrating to their children the value of their mother....guys....this is a day to step up and demonstrate to your family, your wife, and all the other guys standing around at the card shop, that you are a man who loves the mother of his children....on Mothers Day...and every day. Make it something special....try this....surprise her with something she would want....I mean really want! No....not the larger lawn tractor! There are many times during the year where I know your mother feels appreciated and loved, but make this Sunday one that she will remember.

Our focus this Sunday is on "The Invisible Woman!" We're looking at God's Word and discovering how that makes such a difference to Moms everywhere. A special gift is being revealed for the Moms at Osborne House again this year and we are excited by the support of the church for this great place of peace for moms and their children. It's just a temporary home, but we want to do our part in helping make it a place that will help the Moms and children know that there is Love in the World around them.

Bring your Mother and celebrate the woman that God knows intimately.

Blessings,

Pastor Brian
