Mary’s Musings for Sunday May l3, 2012

We gathered in our mother’s day finery and were met with a gorgeous dark red rose from the men in our church, what a lovely and fitting gift for all the women in our church. 

Dianne sang the prelude “His Eye is on the Sparrow” which is the most heartfelt song for all of us to consider each and every day, how God cares for all of his creatures down to the little sparrow and how much He cares for all of us is almost too stupendous to consider.

The men were anxiously awaiting the fellowship time after church as they had an enormous amount of delicious casseroles waiting for us, white table cloths with fresh flowers on each table, bowls of strawberries and it was as delicious to look at as to eat.  But I am ahead of myself, as I usually am when food is available, let’s go back upstairs.

The praise hymn was "Be Exalted, O God" and it was lovely as always.  The choir was beautiful and we all know they were tired and tried but what a lovely hymn they gave us.  They will soon be through for the summer and this seems like the opportune time to thank Suzie and her dedicated and talented choir, we have the best choir in the valley but we don’t like to brag, just stating the facts.

Buck’s sermon was based on “don’t be judgmental” and I may not have heard about it until Boyd had to chastise me on the way home because of a remark I had carelessly made.  Yes, people do listen and take those wonderful sermons to their hearts and their ways of life.  Thank you Buck.

Now it is time to gather for the brunch and we thank all of the men involved in this brunch effort and especially thank Kathy Owens for supplying the fantastic recipe and would like to ask her to post it on this website.  We thank all of the men involved and also Kandace and Zola as they assembled the casseroles.  It was a lovely Mother’s Day for all of the women in our church.  “Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the lord has given us.” Exodus 20:12
