Good morning, Meekie.

Happy Sunday.

My response to the poll was the same as yours.

I sent Jim mail telling him that I wanted to vote Hell No!! His answer was that it would split the No votes. I think most of us would have voted with you and me. ; )

Indispensable

Read: 2 Timothy 1:1-5

I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. —2 Timothy 1:5

Bible In One Year: 2 Kings 7-9; John 1:1-28

---

A talented stay-at-home mother wrote a delightful essay in which she vividly describes (without complaining) the frustrations, sacrifices, and loneliness that accompany her chosen lifestyle. It's not glamorous to deal with a fussy 18-month-old who is teething, to settle quarrels between an irrational 3-year-old and a pushy 5-year old, and to listen to the incessant chatter of small children. Yet she concludes that her role is indispensable for the total well-being of her children. How true!

The importance of a godly mother's role in the life of a child cannot be overemphasized. Think of Timothy, for example, the young man the apostle Paul considered his spiritual son and a valuable partner in ministry. In his second letter to him, Paul recalled how Timothy had been influenced by "the genuine faith" of his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice (2 Timothy 1:5). God used two generations of loving mothers to prepare Timothy for the crucial work he would have in spreading the gospel and establishing congregations of believers in Christ.

Let's praise the Lord for mothers who not only care for their children physically but also nurture them spiritually. Mothers like that are indispensable! —Herb Vander Lugt

God has conferred on motherhood
A true nobility,
And she who gladly fills that role
Can shape man's destiny. —D. De Haan

No man is poor who has had a godly mother. —Abraham Lincoln

Graphic by Billie

Bell, The Book, and Candle ... and Flowers

Here in a small setting, we find life’s sweet treasures,
Fond memories of music, and scents of other pleasures.
The candle brings some light into the darkest kind of room,
And faith can lighten up a heart that’s laden down with gloom.

Flowers send a message to a loved one, “You have friends!”
The Bible gives us hope that we will meet the best of ends. ,br. Music entertains us with a merry bit of charm,
The candle keeps us safe from any darkened path of harm.

I hope that you will have one bell-ringer of a day,
And don’t forget to smell the flowers on the way.
Small matter if our days are ill beset and vexed,
Our guide will lead us to a better life within the next.

Mothers' Day Song My Father Taught Me:
---sung to tune of 'walking thru the park one day in the merry merry month of may'

If it wasn't for your father,
Would your mother be your mother?
So remember Dad on Mothers' Day.
