Mothers occupy life’s most special place

Loving their family, sharing God’s grace

 

Mothers share generous spirit each day

Teaching with Christ’s love, parenting His way

 

Mothers brighten each home’s earthy landscape

Making time sweeter as household takes shape

 

Mothers nurture children, unselfish love

Following God’s mercy, shining above

 

Mothers dream of humble lives with fresh starts

Sharing God’s lasting peace with fragile hearts

 

Mothers’ self-sacrifice, her shining light

Giving of herself, tender lives take flight

 

Mothers seeking what’s best in newborn’s life

Praying for harmony, absent of strife

 

Mothers devote selves, God’s highest calling

Preventing precious new lives from falling

 

Mothers encourage with God’s building blocks

Witnessing playtime in backyard’s sandbox

 

Mothers leave legacy within each child

Living righteously with God, reconciled

 

Mothers cherish every blessed step

Sprinkling heaven’s stardust at love’s doorstep

Curious Trivial Facts (5/7)

This informative post will be posted on Saturday along with my usual writing.  We can all appreciate some of the lesser known facts from around the world.

Under NBA regulations, sneakers are the only article of clothing a player can wear that bears a commercial logo.

The phrase John Lennon can be heard saying (twice, on some recordings) at the end of “Strawberry Fields Forever”–and the phrase that many Beatles fans took to be “I buried Paul” and that helped launch the “Paul is dead” hysteria–is actually “cranberry sauce.”

These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).

Praise and Gratitude

From Psalm 92:1-2:  “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night.”

From Psalm 92:14-15:  “In old age they still produce fruit; they are always green and full of sap, showing that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

Matthew Henry Quote

Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary grace.

From James 4:5-6:  “Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, ‘God yearns jealously for the spirit that He has made to dwell in us’?  But he gives all the more grace; therefore it says.”

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

Don’t gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver and gold.

Bob Marley (1945-1981) was a Jamaican-born singer, songwriter, and musician.  His unique and pioneering musical talents shared many inspiring songs.

Listen carefully!  Jesus Christ opens the gate, gently looks at you, and says:  “Come to Me, all you who labor and are over burdened, and I will cause you to rest.”  Just come.  His provision is profound, attainable, and right.

From Psalm 32:7:  “You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.”
