TRANSCRIPT
“Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God.”
(Ps. 146:5 ESV)
This month in the life of our church we will celebrate Mother’s Day, our graduates, and Memorial Day.
During each of these special Sunday’s we will take a few moments in our Worship Service to say a word of
thanksgiving to God for the gift that each of these are in our lives and in the life of our church.
Where would we be without our Mother’s? How many times in our lives has God worked through our
Mother’s for our own good? Oh how the Lord works through our Moms to make us and mold us into the people he
desires us to be! Moms: THANK YOU!
Our graduates are our future and we pray for them daily! Praying that God would be their help, that they
would learn to trust him, and put their hope in him. Graduates: We are thankful for you, we are proud of you, and
we are also praying for you!
Many have gone before us and paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have an opportunity to live in
peace and in freedom; we remember and are grateful for them. If you have a family member who gave their life in
service to our country: THANK YOU! We know that doesn’t remove the sting or the pain, but we hope that in
remembering them and being thankful for their (& your) sacrifice we will honor them.
The above scripture points us directly to God for our help and our hope; may we seek him for this at all times!!!
While there are times that the Lord intervenes in this way directly, there are other times that he uses people in our
lives to help us and give us hope. In fact, sometimes the Lord sends his help and hope in the form of a wise Mother,
a budding graduate, or a faithful servant willing to give his or her life for the sake of others. May we be grateful for
the gift they are to us. Hoping May goes your way! Live blessed!
In His Service,
Pastor Roger
