A Mother's Example
When I think of my mom,
especially on Mothers Day, I
recall a scene I witnessed many
times during my childhood.1
Late at night, just before
bedtime, my mother would sit in
a rocking chair in the darkness
with her head bowed in prayer.
When it was nippy, the glow
from the space heater revealed
a lovely scene that fascinated
me.1
My bed wasnt far away, and
just before I fell asleep I oftensaw my mother praying. Her
face was beautiful and aglow.
She radiated holiness and
serenity, and I was deeply
affected.1
I never once talked to my mom
about her prayer life. I was only
17 when she died. As traumatic
as it was for me, I wonder if it
werent a rather easy transition
for her. After all, she seemed to
live with one foot in heaven.

Wherever You Go
Graduations bring a commencement, or
beginning, of new things.
In 1990, Dr. Seuss published Oh, the Places
Youll Go! This popular graduation gift tells
in Seuss inimitable style of all lifes possible
ups and downs, twists and turns. There will
surely be excitement and slumps, fun and
loneliness, purpose and confusion. And, yes,
fear: There are some [things], down the
road between hither and yon, that can scare
you so much you wont want to go on.
The sheer determination of the storybooks
life-traveler moves him beyond trouble and
fear. But Gods children dont have to go it
alone. Life cannot take us anywhere God
hasnt been first. Furthermore, he walks
beside us on every winding path and around
every corner.
Graduates and all Christians can trust
in the promise of Joshua 1:9 (NIV): Be
strong and courageous for the LORD your
God will be with you wherever you go.

The Week at a GlanceYour Faith Can Grow
The suspension bridge over Niagara Falls was begun by a thread
attached to a kite. When the wind blew, thekite floated across the
water to the other side. Workers then attached a string to the
thread and pulled it
across. To the string, they attached a rope and pulled it back.
By this slow-but-sure method, the bridge wasbuilt.
Our faith may be just a little thread or no larger than a
mustard seed, but we must act on it (see James 2:14-18). Through
action, our faith will be strengthened (Colossians 1:23) as it
moves us to do even greater works
of faith for our Lord (2 Thessalonians 1:3). And in this
slow-but-sure way, our faith can grow exceedingly(Ephesians
4:15-16).

An Upside-down World
The saintly nun of Calcut-
ta, Mother Teresa,
thought she knew why
the world is upside-down.
She thought it had to do
with families that were
out of sync, lacking to-
getherness, harmony and
the extension of real lovefor one another. She said,
It is easier to offer food
to the hungry than to an-
swer the lonely suffering
of someone who lacks
love right in ones own
family.
May WMU Project
Pure Pure
Water Love
Please continue to give
toward this wonderful
ministry. Thank You!
Condolences
She went on to say, The
world today is upside down
because there is so very
little love in the home and
in family life. We have no
time for each other. Every-
body is in such a terrible
rush, and so anxious ...
and in the home begins
the disruption of the peace
of the world.

Lets make sure that we
are showing charity in
our own homes and
with our family
members.

feel free to contact the church office.
Thanks, MomDad came home to find toys all over the living room,
dirty dishes stacked in the
sink, clothes piled in the laundry room, beds unmade and kids
still in theirpajamas. The house was a wreck, like nothing hed seen
before.
Worried, Dad rushed upstairs to find Mom reading a book in
bed.
Are you okay? he asked. What happened?
You know how you always ask what I do all day? Mom replied.
Well, today I
decided not to do it.
