 MOTHER'S DAY

​

On May 8th we celebrate both the

4th Sunday of Easter and Mother's Day.

​

In honor of Mother's Day, I would like to share this poem from an anonymous author: 

​

If I live in a house of spotless beauty

with everything in its place,

but have not love,

I am a housekeeper--not a homemaker.

​

If I have time for waxing,

polishing, and decorative achievements,

but have not love,

my children learn cleanliness - not godliness.

​

Love leaves the dust

in search of a child's laugh.

​

Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints

on a newly cleaned window.

​

Love wipes away the tears

before it wipes up the spilled milk.

Love picks up the child

before it picks up the toys.

Love is present through the trials.

Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive.

Love crawls with the baby,

walks with the toddler,

runs with the child,

then stands aside

to let the youth

walk into adulthood.

Love is the key

that opens

salvation's message

to a child's heart.

Before I became a mother,

I took glory in my house of perfection.

Now I glory in God's perfection of my child.

As a mother, there is much I must teach

my child, but the greatest of all is love.

​

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Peace & Blessings,

Pastor Sharon
