We had an excellent Mother's day at our church with Devonshire Tea, (love those scones with jam & cream) massage pampering for all mums, and a gift for all mums in attendance.
The main highlight for me was presenting three mothers from the community with three hour pamper packages at a local day spa.
Two of the three mums had never stepped foot in our church and all three were extremely overwhelmed and touched by the generosity of our people. It really was one of those memorable days in the life of our church!
I shared the following quotes and thoughts with our church across both our services for Mother's Day.
"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."
-- George Washington (1732-1799)
"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers."
-- Jewish proverb
"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."
-- Abraham Lincoln
A very happy Mother's Day to all mums, especially my own mum, Lorraine Greening who I owe everything too and who has played a major role in making me who I am today, and my Step mum Judy who is also an amazing lady and has been obviously fundamental in the upbringing of her own children!
Praise God for our Mums!
