Happy Mother's Day on May 9, 2010


Mothers are very important people.  Without mothers, there would be no children.  So why do we treat our mothers so shabbily at times? Many today are both mother and father to the children and the difficulty to provide is crucial and depressing, but there are those who continue to provide against the odds.

Mothers have a huge responsibility to foster healthy development in their children.  The reason for this is that most times the fathers are away from the homes, trying to make a living for the family.

Therefore, whether the children like it or not, mothers have to make a unique contribution to provide a stable and secure environment where children can flourish and feel protected.

Many times mothers are criticized, misjudged, ignored, and disrespected by children for doing the moral and God-given commandment to train them in the proper way.  However, in Proverbs 22:6, it says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when He is old, he will not depart from it."

God intended this to be so,  therefore a mother must embrace thoughtful planning, unwearying determination to deal with these children and they will succeed with the help of the Lord.

To all mothers all over this world, I wish for you a great day and may the blessings of God continue to be with you.

Nailing My Sins To His cross

That day when they crucified my Saviour, He was willing to pay all the cost.  When they drove the nails through His body, they were nailing my sins to His cross. Oh the shame of it, my sins crucified Him that day, my sins were to blame.  Forgive me Lord I pray, I will live so the world can know that I love You for nailing my sins to the cross. Although this was centuries ago now, and I was not even living at all, The Bible says Jesus died for all sinners.  This includes me, Oh praise His dear name.  Thank you Jesus!

I Look To You, Dear Lord

You are my hope, the Lord of my life.  I wait on You and move cautiously in my decisions.  I am not ashamed to trust in Your guidance, Lord.  Instead I feel thankful for the trust in You.  I am filled with peace.  Throughout the day my thoughts often turn to You for direction and strength.  In quiet and confidence I find the strength only You can give. You, dear Father, are my Rock and my defender; I shall not fear.  I know I believe, and I am persuaded that You keep me close to You day by day. I look to You.  I doubt not in Your unfailing love for me.  Thank You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.  Anita Corine Donihue

Laying Crowns At Jesus' Feet

Image
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."It is possible to earn a crown and then to lose it again.  Wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy? May God grant that it will not happen to us.  John 19:5 tells us of a mock coronation when they crowned the Lord Jesus with a cruel crown of thorns.  What a demonstration of the depravity of fallen man.  In Revelation 4:10-11, the elders take their crowns and give them to Jesus saying, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power."  I want to have crowns to lay at His feet at that time.  O the utter shame of a Christian who does  not have at least one crown to lay at His feet.  He wins the crown for us as we yield to Him.  The crown is rightly His, for He has won.  I desire to be able to lay many crowns at His blessed feet. What about you? Some of the crowns are: Crowns for runners: 1 Corinthians 9:24,25 Crowns for soul winners: 1 Thessalonian
