Confidence In God

When we look back in our own lives at God’s

faithfulness to us, it gives us confidence and hope in his

future faithfulness. We look back to our own story of

salvation. We see that Jesus died on the cross for our

sins, that this is the demonstration of God’s love for us.

When worries threaten to overtake our heart, we need to

remember and dwell on the truth of the gospel.

And as we remember, we need to turn to God in

prayer. Hebrews says that because of Jesus, we can

come to the throne of grace with confidence, to receive

the help we need (Hebrews 4:16). Paul was referring to

chronic worry when he wrote in Philippians 4:6 “Do not

be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer

and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to

God.” We are to give our worries to God in prayer,

trusting him with all our burdens and ca-

res. As a result, we will receive in return

the peace we long for. “And the peace of

God, which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds in

Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7).

Every Mother is Special

As I read over the internet this past week here is a poem and some of the phrases that I came

across for Mother’s Day:

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs… since the payment is pure LOVE — Mildred B. Vermont

A Mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible– Marion C. Garretty

We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves– Henry Ward Beecher

You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every

time around – and why his parents will always wave back– William D. Tammeus

Have A Happy Mother’s Day to all Mom’s Todd

A Taste of Italy

Every mother is a working mother.

When we are small they work hard to keep us fed, clean and dry.

When we begin to talk they teach us what to say, how to pray,

and never to lie.

When we begin to walk they work to keep us from trouble.

When we’re old enough to start school,

a mother’s work begins to double.

When we reach the teen years and want to be independent,

a mother prays; walk with Jesus, and with His ways be content.

Every expression of love shows she cares like no other;

because every mother is a working mother.
