“For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him. “So I have also dedicated him to the LORD; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there. – 1 Samuel 1:27-28 (NASB)
Hannah – Seeking God in Uncertain Times
I am always moved when I read the story of Hannah. She was a woman of great faith in a time of great oppression and uncertainty both in her personal life and the life of her nation, Israel. God used her faith and perseverance in prayer to change the course of history. He gave her a son that she named Samuel. Hannah responded with praise and God prospered her, her family, her nation, and her world!
Happy Mother’s Day!
It is only proper that we take time to celebrate and recognize our moms today. When I think of the wonderful moms that have blessed and influenced my life, I am grateful. My Mother and stepmom have now gone home to be with Jesus. I miss them but I am thankful that their influence lives on and that I will see them again.
I cannot imagine a better mom than my wife, Denise. She has taken and continues to take such good care of our family. Only the Lord knows how many Sunday mornings and other occasions she was on her own because “the preacher” was on assignment. And now, she is the best grandma!
We salute all our moms today. I can think of so many through the years that have been like an “extra mom” to me. I also think of the young moms in our congregation who are setting a Godly example and bringing up their children in church – many in our world are not. Thank you for your great example! May God continue to bless our moms and their families!

Think About It… Moms, on Mother's Day Sunday we rise up and call you blessed. But knowing you, you'll feel uneasy in the limelight. You'll probably look for a place to hide. True servants are like that. – Chuck Swindoll
