I
hope all HSB members had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was very
nice. This morning, we received a phone call that the pastor is
sick, and Jason would need to preach. This was at 8:00 am.
No problem for him, I would have been a nervous wreck! He did a
great job-- I really enjoyed it. He followed the pastor's
outline, which I thought was difficult but a great idea. He made
the point that God is in the spaces between us. Where 2 or 3 are
gathered, He is in the midst. And while the Pastor made the
outline and he (Jason) gave the sermon, God was the one delivering the
message. The text was Proverbs 31 (not my favorite) but i loved
the point Jason made: that when God looks at us as mothers, regardless
of how many dishes are in the sink or what's on the floor, or whatever
failures we may have, when God looks at us through His redemptive eyes,
He sees the Proverbs 31 mother. Wow. The nursery workers revolted today. We all wanted to be in the service with our families for Mother's Day so we took the kids to church with us. I am sure we will catch some flack about it, but it was worth it. The same 2 or 3 of us are in there every Sunday, and anyone who didn't like it can have next Sunday :) Jason and I actually went on a date last night  (not
a common occurrence with 4 kids). My mom babysat, and we had a
gift certificate for a nice restaurant. We also had a movie pass,
so it was a free date! The food was really good (New Orleans
cuisine, although I had steak) and then we saw United 93. So sad,
but very worthwhile. Never forget 9-11. |
