First off, Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who is a mother, and has a mother, or has ever mothered someone. Hope I covered everyone!
I hate to say it, but I’m at a loss as to how to approach the message today.
You could read and contemplate Psalm 62, since that was what our sermon was on today. I thought it was a stretch to pull Mother’s Day into the context of that sermon, except to say that what he was saying was we should all lean on Jesus as our rock and our refuge. Nothing we are going through as mothers or not is too big for God to handle.
Or, you could consider Acts 2, the second half of which I listened to today, before moving on to Acts 3. It took two sessions for him to get through how important it was for Peter to -as the chosen leader-reveal the miracles while still in the Upper Room so that all present could see the moment when he was given the Spirit of the Lord, then to speak to the nation of Israel about receiving the word, understand that they now -having heard and received -must repent and be baptised so that they can go out and spread the word of God.
Not that that has anything to do with the day either, but just to let you know where I am in my Bible reading and study. I do feel good that I am proceeding in my journey as I should be, by reading the scripture, then having it explained to me in detail, before sharing it with anyone else. He explained the importance of that as well in this lesson.
As I’ve been writing, the thunder, rain, and lightening have stopped and the sky has cleared! I hope that means that we will get to see the Northern Lights tonight. It depends on how late the viewing period starts, because if I have to stay up later than 10pm to see it, it’s probably not going to happen. Also, I won’t be driving to some location away from all the city lights, that will be a factor also.
I hope you all have a great and relaxing Mother’s Day! 💐
Thank you for being here, reading, and responding as well as all the prayers for my friends. I will share details when I get updates.
