Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, Sandy Parrish and Ryan's Mom, Sande Orthe. "He will keep you strong to the end" ...1Corintians 1:8 We love you both!
Happy Mother's Day to all!
HPC had many inspirational messages and gifts to all moms and widows today in church. Pastor Dino had me laughing through out the messages and crying toward the end. There were women handing out flyers and bracelets as you entered church. The church was packed but I managed to find two seats close to where I usually sit. Pastor Dino shared verses and clips of songs that pertained to the words.. "Momma said"...you know like... "Momma said there be days like this..." I sat alone as I usually do in church since Ryan is away at work. This time I couldn't help but feel a little down when pastor asked all moms to stand and then asked their loved ones to hug their wives and moms. I longed to have Ryan there hugging me... Then someone placed their hand on my back and I lost it!!!!!! Tears that I was holding in just poured down my face...
HUGS ARE...
There's something in a simple hug,
That always warms the heart,
It welcomes us back home,
and makes it easier to part.
A hug's a way to share the joy,
and sad times we go through,
or just a way for mothers to say,
they like you 'cause you're you.
Hugs are meant for anyone,
for whom we really care,
from your mother to your grandma to your neighbor,
or a cuddly bear.
A hug is an amazing thing,
it's just the perfect way,
to show the love we're feeling,
but can't find the words to say.
It's funny how a little hug,
makes everyone feel good,
in every place and language,
it's always understood.
And hugs don't need new equipment,
special batteries or parts,
just open up your arms,
and open up your hearts!

Here are some of my favorite verses from Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever if noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
