Something to think about

	Quote of the Day I can't believe that God  put us on this earth to be ordinary. - Lou Holtz

Happy Mother's Day!

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 carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what

The vacuum just sucked up....

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'

And get their answer when a little

Voice says, '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 Mommy to Mom to Mother........

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn’t know everything!

14 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother? She wouldn’t have a clue.

.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom...

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair..

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart,

The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she

Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

I hope your day is blessed with much love and some time to spend on YOU!

You are special and deserve to be praised today!

I love this. Check it out!

I got an e-mail from Donna the other day that had a link to this in it.  Thought it was worth posting here!  Send your friends to see it--especially if they are NOT YET saved!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

The baby shower was a great success.  Thanks to everyone who helped out and donated food!  We have the best members here at St. Johns!  I doubt that Laura and Nate will need to buy much at all.  This will be the best dressed, cleanest, most entertained baby around! 

More details to come.  Again you guys are AWESOME!  Thank you!

Mary Jo checked with our Health Ministry and they are fine with this idea.

Movie Night with Manicure/Massage. Mary Jo knows a person who will give massages for $5.00 for 10 minutes. Possibly we could have a movie and have manicures and massages for a charge of $15.00. We will discuss further.

14. Prayer.

Happy Easter--We worship a LIVING God!

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me  (lyrics from In Christ Alone)  


Thank you Jesus!  I love you.  


Here is my absolute favorite Easter Song!  I hope you will take a moment to watch it--it may change your life!  That is my prayer.
