Still Wondering What to give Mom?

This is one thing money can't buy....

"I’ve received some wonderful gifts for Mother’s Day, such as breakfast in bed (somewhat edible), homemade cards, and handpicked weedy flowers from our yard.  I love these kinds of gifts because they’re the heartfelt kind that money can’t buy, and I know that a lot of thought went into them.  Store bought gifts are nice too, but there’s just something special about a gift made just for me, intended to soothe my mind, be music to my ears, make my heart sing, and bring me tears of joy. The best Mother’s Day gift of all encompasses all of these things. And it’s a gift that money can’t buy because, for one thing, you can’t put a price on it. You can’t see it either, or hold it, or eat it, or drink it, or listen to it. Yet, this gift is one I will treasure above any other because I get to enjoy it every minute of every day until the day I die. It’s the gift of knowing that my child is walking with the Lord. From the moment they are born, we start preparing them for our gift by preparing them for eternity. God has blessed us with breath in this life, which is but a vapor, and eternity is, well, eternity. So, turns out, this is a gift for both of us." - Kristen R.

Alice Good. An urge for a 7up. Plus a lesson about Eternity...

Emmanuel and I went to a nursing home recently to preach the gospel. It's walking distance from our home which is convenient.

I ministered to an 88 yr old lady named “Alice Good” and explained to her that she wasn’t “good” even though she thought she was.

Emmanuel disappeared for a few minutes and when I found him I asked, “What were you doing?” he said, “Putting a lady in bed.”

“You did what!?” I exclaimed.

To which he answered, “Yes. She asked me to lift her up from her chair and put her in bed. So I did. And then the next thing she asked me to do was to change her diaper!…but I called for help.”

*Relief*

“Then she motioned like she wanted a drink and asked me for a “pop” (7up) several times. I guess she really wanted a soda.” He explained.

We went back less than two weeks later with the 7up in hand. We approached her room with excitement to quench her thirst, but she wasn’t there...

She had died.

“Each day brings us closer to death. If your treasures are on earth, that means each day brings you closer to losing your treasures.” - Randy C. Alcorn

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” – Jesus (Matt 6:19-20).

Help us, Lord, to be wise and teach us to store our treasures in Heaven.

“The most important thing in life is to be ready for death. So ready to die that when it comes time to die all you have to do is die. There is a here and hereafter & either in heaven with Christ or banished in hell.” – Bob Jennings (Preached at a Funeral in 2008, Bob Jennings is now with the Lord)
