 MOTHERS DAY IS THIS SUNDAY!

 WE REPEAT

 Mothers Day this Sunday

~Don’t forget your Momma~

The 23rd Psalm Mom

My mom is my shepherd; I shall not want. She makes me lie down under cool, downy comforts. She watches me play beside still waters. She restores my soul.

She leads me in paths of respect, responsibility, and goodness, for I am her namesake!

Yea, even though I walk past monsters in the dark, I will not be scared, because my mom is always near me. Her hands and her voice, they comfort me.

Mama sets the table and cheerfully calls me to dinner even in front of big, mean bullies.

She anoints my skinned knees and broken heart with kisses. She smiles and throws me a towel when my cup runneth over.

Surely God’s peace, power, and mercy shall uphold me all the days of my life, for my Mother taught me to dwell in the house of God forever.

Mother’s Day turns 100 in United States

Churches across the nation will honor mothers this Sunday in an American tradition that is a century old this year.

 
Mother’s Day got its start on May 10, 1908, when Anna Jarvis organized observances in Grafton, West Virginia, and Philadelphia.

As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She finally succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Arlene Allen, Assemblies of God national director of Women’s Ministries, says Mother’s Day is an appropriate acknowledgement of the importance of motherhood.

“She is the poorest paid worker, yet can reap the largest dividends in the character she helps instill in her children,” Allen says.

As of 2004, there were nearly 83 million moms in the country!


                                                                                                    
Thoughts for Mother’s Day

 
  

 The Influence of a Mother

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.”
- Abraham Lincoln

“I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.”
- Abraham Lincoln

“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

“Mothers have as powerful an influence over the welfare of future generations as all other earthly causes combined.”
- John S.C. Abbott

“There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness… The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.”
- Andrew Jackson

“An ounce of mother is worth a ton of priest.”
- Spanish proverb

“The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.”
– W. R. Wallace

“The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom.”
- Henry Ward Beecher

“In all my efforts to learn to read, my mother shared fully my ambition and sympathized with me and aided me in every way she could. If I have done anything in life worth attention, I feel sure that I inherited the disposition from my mother.”
- Booker T. Washington

“I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother.”
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of little children tends towards the formation of character.”
- Hosea Ballou

“Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.”
- Barbara Kingsolver

“The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power.”
- Maya Angelou

“It seems to me that my mother was the most splendid woman I ever knew… I have met a lot of people knocking around the world since, but I have never met a more thoroughly refined woman than my mother. If I have amounted to anything, it will be due to her.”
- Charles Chaplin

“The mother, more than any other, affects the moral and spiritual part of the children’s character. She is their constant companion and teacher in formative years. The child is ever imitating and assimilating the mother’s nature. It is only in after life that men gaze backward and behold how a mother’s hand and heart of love molded their young lives and shaped their destiny.”
- E.W. Caswell

“The noblest calling in the world is that of mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after painting shall have faded, and books and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give.”
- David O. McKay

“Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.”
- Stevie Wonder

“My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.”
- Denzel Washington

“My mother said to me, “If you become a soldier you’ll be a general; if you become a monk you’ll end up as the pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”
- Pablo Picasso

Humor

No one deserves a special day all to herself more than today’s Mom. A cartoon showed a psychologist talking to his patient: “Let’s see,” he said, “You spend 50 percent of your energy on your job, 50 percent on your husband and 50 percent on your children. I think I see your problem.”
- Unknown

“The hand that rocks the cradle usually is attached to someone who isn’t getting enough sleep.”
- John Fiebig

“I’d like to be the ideal mother, but I’m too busy raising my kids.”
- Unknown

“Motherhood is full of frustrations and challenges… but eventually they move out.”
- Unknown

The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she’d have children if she had it to do over again. “Yes,” she replied. “But not the same ones.”
- David Finkelstein

A little boy forgot his lines in a Sunday school presentation. His mother was in the front row to prompt him. She gestured and formed the words silently with her lips, but it did not help. Her son’s memory was blank. Finally, she leaned forward and whispered the cue, “I am the light of the world.” The child beamed and with great feeling and a loud clear voice said, “My mother is the light of the world.”
- Bits and Pieces, August, 1989

A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: ” My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?” When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word Mother.
- Unknown

The Meanest Mother in the World

We had the meanest mother in the whole world! While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast. When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches. And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was different than other kids had too. Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. You would think we were convicts in a prison. She had to know who our friends were, and what we were doing with them. She insisted that if we said we would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less. We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve to break the child Labor Laws but making us work. We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lay awake at night thinking of more things for us to do. She always insisted on us telling the truth the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time we were teenagers, she could read our minds, and life was really tough. She wouldn’t let our friends just honk the horn when they drove up. They had to come up to the door so she could meet them. While everyone else could date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16. Because of our mother we missed out on lots of things other kids experienced. None of us have ever been caught shoplifting, vandalizing others property, or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault. We never got drunk, took up smoking, stayed out all night, or a million other things other kids did. Sundays were reserved for church, and we never missed once. We knew better than to ask to spend the night with a friend on Saturdays. Now that we have left home, we are all God-fearing, educated, honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean parents just like our mom was. The world just doesn’t have enough mean moms anymore.
- Steve Heese

* You say at least once a day “I’m not cut out for this job,” but you know you wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Reflections Concerning Mothers and Motherhood

“No man is poor who has had a godly mother.”
- Abraham Lincoln

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.”
- Honore’ de Balzac

“Youth fades; love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Before becoming a mother I had a hundred theories on how to bring up children. Now I have seven children and only one theory: love them, especially when they least deserve to be loved.”
- Kate Samperi

“Making a decision to have a child — it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
- Elizabeth Stone

“If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.”
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Adorable children are considered to be the general property of the human race. Rude children belong to their mothers.
– Judith Martin

Children have more need of models than of critics.
– Joseph Joubert

It takes courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life—to God. We have to love them and lose them.
– Alfred Torrie

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
– Tagore

When General Ulysses Grant’s mother died at Jersey City in 1883, he said to the minister who was to officiate at the funeral: “Make no reference to me. She owed nothing to me, to any post I have occupied or any honors that have been paid me. Speak of her just as she was, a pure-minded, simple-hearted, earnest Methodist Christian.”

A teacher asked a boy this question: “Suppose your mother baked a pie and there were seven of you–your parents and five children. What part of the pie would you get?” “A sixth,” replied the boy. “I’m afraid you don’t know your fractions,” said the teacher. “Remember, there are seven of you.” “Yes, teacher,” said the boy, “but you don’t know my mother. Mother would say she didn’t want any pie.”
- Bits and Pieces, June, 1990

“The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.”
- Hamilton Wright Mabie

“Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own.”
- Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons

“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air-traffic controllers with ease.”
- Lisa Alther

“A mother understands what a child does not say.”
- Jewish Proverb

– Ella Fitzgerald

If you always do what interests you, at least one person will be pleased.

- William J. Bennett

“The mother is the most precious possessions of the nation, so precious that society advances its highest well-being when it protects the functions of the mother.”
- Ellen Key

“Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.”
- Kate Douglas Wiggin
  

   
     
“Children Learn What They Live”
by Dorothy Law Nolte

If a child lives with criticism,
He learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
He learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
He learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame,
He learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
He learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,
He learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,
He learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
He learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,
He learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
He learns to find love in the world.

Make a list of 31 things your wife does for you and the family that you seldom thank her for. Make a point of thanking her specifically for one on each day of the coming month.

And be prepared for a better relationship than you’ve enjoyed in quite a while.

Whatever the times, one thing will never change: Fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first. Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens in the White House, but what happens inside your house.

SIGN FOR THE BATHROOM DOOR

Attention Everyone: The Bathroom Door is Closed!
Please do not stand there and talk, whine or ask questions.
Wait until I get out.
Yes, it is locked. I want it that way.
No, it is not broken; I am not trapped.
I know I have left it unlocked, and even open at times, since you were born, because I was afraid some horrible tragedy might occur while I was in there.
But it’s been ten years, and I want some privacy.
Do not ask me how long I will be.
I will come out when I am done.
Do not bring the phone to the bathroom door.
Do not go running back to the phone yelling, “She’s in the bathroom!”
Do not begin to fight as soon as I go in.
Do not stick your little fingers under the door and wiggle them.
This was funny only when you were two.
Do not slide pennies, Legos, or notes under the door,
Even when you were two, this got a little tiresome.
If you have followed me down the hall, talking,
And are still talking as you face this closed door,
Please turn around, walk away and wait for me in another room.
I will be glad to listen to you when I am done.
Oh.and yes, I still love you.

Mom

From “Espresso for a Woman’s Spirit,” by Pam Vredevelt.

 

Real Mothers

* Real Mothers don’t eat quiche; they don’t have time to make it.
* Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.
* Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
* Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn’t come out of carpet.
* Real Mothers don’t want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.
* Real Mothers sometimes ask “why me?” and get their answer when little voices say, “because I love you best.”
* Real Mothers know that a child’s growth is not measured by height or years or grade. It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mommy to Mom.
- Unknown

Mothers come in all sizes, shapes and colors and are found everywhere: at kitchen sinks; hunting lost school books; kissing hurt places to make them well; patching seams and dreams; settling disputes; getting meals; supervising baths and morals. Mothers are the child’s first and most important teacher. Eighty percent of what a child learns, he learns by the time he is five years old. A mother asked a psychiatrist, “When should I start training my child?” “How old is he?” he asked. The mother replied, “Five years old.” Flashed the psychiatrist, “Woman, hurry home! You have already lost five years.” A mother seems to have eyes in the back of her head, ears that can hear the cookie jar lid being stealthily lifted two rooms away. Her smiles are contagiously cheerful and light up a home, imparting hope and courage. Theodore Roosevelt said, “America’s greatest asset is home-building, God-fearing mothers.” The Bible gives these words of praise, “In her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household… Her children arise up, and call her blessed.” (Proverbs 31:26-28).
- Walter B. Knight

Campbell Morgan stated that his sermons were Bible stories heard from his mother. Dr. Morgan’s four sons became preachers, their dedication no doubt stemmed from their godly heritage. Someone once asked the youngest son who was the greatest preacher in the Morgan family, and the son answered without hesitation, “My mother.”
- Ruth Starnes

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
-Washington Irving

“Even He that died for us upon the cross, in the last hour, in the unutterable agony of death, was mindful of His mother, as if to teach us that this holy love should be our last worldly thought - the last point of earth from which the soul should take its flight for heaven.”
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who was born of the promise to a virgin named Mary. I believe in the love Mary gave her Son, that caused her to follow Him in His ministry and stand by His cross when He died. I believe in the love of all mothers, and its importance in the lives of the children they bear. It is stronger than steel, softer than down, and more resilient than a green sapling on the hillside. It closes wounds, melts disappointments, and enables the weakest child to stand tall and straight in the fields of adversity. I believe that this love, even at its best, is only a shadow of the love of God, a dark reflection of all that we can expect of him, both in this life and the next. And I believe that one of the most beautiful sights in the world is a mother who lets this greater love flow through her to her child, blessing the world with the tenderness of her touch and the tears of her joy.”
- John Killinger, Lost in Wonder, Love, and Praise.

Hey, we were at the cave, too!  My husband said he saw you talking to Les and he said hello to you and that we would see you at Crossover.  We won’t be able to be there the whole weekend because we have to take our daughter to the airport for a Washington, D.C. trip that she won.  She is upset that she won’t be able to go to Crossover this year, but she’s excited to go on the D.C. trip.  Keep her in your prayers.  Her name is Katie and she loves that Lord! 
 
Thanks again for your ministry!  You are truly a blessing!

Dear KC,  Just want you to know how much I enjoy listening to you - and all the others on spiritfm.  I will be at the Joyce Meyer’s Conference, but am going with my husband.  His going is such a blessing to me - since he had stopped going to church for years - and just recently started going back.  I went and saw Joyce in St.Louis back in Sept - and she is so awesome.  I started listening to Joyce on Spirit Fm - then on the internet. My husband started listening to Joyce with me - and now we are partnered with her, as well as Spirit FM.  Listening to spiritfm keeps me going throughout each day - so thank you everyone - the entire spiritfm team (even those behind the scenes) are ensuring tha us listeners are being fed the Word and blessed each day - if not for each and every one of you -  I would not be sitting here at me desk feeling some peace at work - though it sometimes gets very tense and frustrating (and I work in a church) - God Bless you all, Amy

Hi!  I thought you’d be interested in this story from Science@NASA: This
week researchers announced that a storm is coming–the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. In this story we explore the underpinnings of the forecast and what it means for the years ahead.
