Sunday Recap: Mother's Day!

What an awesome Sunday we had celebrating the role and calling of Motherhood! A massive 'Thank you’ to the events team for putting on such a lovely morning! The flowers, food, video, and gifts were just awesome! I am so glad that we have such a generous, creative, and hospitable church!

The message was targeted to mums to TRUST GOD and DO GOOD! But really, this is true for us all isn’t it! How prone we all are to put the doing before the trusting and as a result end up guilt dogged and fear stalked! Here is a section from the article!

“What’s a weary, guilt-dogged, fear-stalked mom to do? We must do what Isaac Watts did: fly to God. We must trust God in our doing good. Trusting God doesn’t nullify doing good; rather, it empowers every good work. Trusting God douses our fears and turns our self-effort on its head. Trusting God infuses our doing good with peace, joy, and energizing hope. ” Carolyn Mahaney.

Isn’t that wonderful, but how easy it is to forget. As mum’s, the answer to your fears and guilt is NOT to stop trying and to stop doing the good things God has called you to, instead, it is do the good with trust and faith in God, so that you’re doing is carried by the power of faith and trust in God.

The one main hope of the message is for you mum’s to see that:

Trusting God infuses our mothering with peace, joy, and energizing hope for the task.

  1. Point 1: Trusting God with your Motherly Love

  2. Point 2: Trusting God with your Motherly Example

  3. Point 3: Trusting God with your Motherly Discipline.

Mum’s, trust him and do good!
