Page 4 HEART & SOUL

A STRONG WOMAN VS. A WOMAN OF STRENGTH

~Marta S. Hardy

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…

But a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything… But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her

fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her… But a woman of strength gives her best to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…

But a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's Blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman walks sure footedly… But a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she

falls.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face… But a woman of strength wears Grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…

But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey

that she will become strong.

DEACONS CORNER

MOTHER ~Rosa Lee McGee

There's one word that means so much to me That word is Mother, she’s done so much you see To help me grow from day to day

Stronger and braver in every way, She tells me stories of Jesus, Of Jonah and the whale, Of Daniel in the lion’s den, And all the prophets’ tales. So I want to grow to be like her, And since this is her day,

I’d like to say , “Thank you mothers everywhere And God Bless you in every way.”

WHAT’S A MOTHER ~Wanda Beal

Mothers look different

from other women.

Their hair isn't always

done in the latest

style, and sometimes,

it isn't done at all.

A mother is a woman who can bake a cake with

six other hands helping her and still have it turn

out fine.

A mother's shoulders sometimes smell of sour

milk, and if you are very observant, you'll notice

safety-pin holes in her clothes--even her

Sunday best.

Mothers frequently have runs in their stockings.

Likely as not, Junior didn't park his trike off the

sidewalk.

A mother is different. She likes chicken wings

and backs and the hamburger that is slightly

burned--things the kids and Daddy don't care

for. She never takes the last chop on the plate,

and she always saves the candy from her tray

at the club to bring home to the children.

A mother may not have ulcers, but she has

versatile tears. They show anger, weariness,

hurt or happiness. Once, when Daddy forgot an

anniversary, Mother cried. One Saturday, he

brought home chocolates when it wasn't her

birthday or anything, and she cried then, too.

A mother is someone who can repair the kitchen sink with only her hands--after Daddy has spent a lot of time trying with tools and plenty of cuss words.

When a mother dies, she must face Him with

her record of accomplishments. If she's done a

good job of caring for her children, she'll get the

most sought-after position in heaven, that of

rocking baby angels on soft white clouds and

wiping their celestial tears with the corner of her

apron.
