It's Mother's Day.
Believe it or not, nowadays my 4-year-old Hannah is taking a driving lesson from her mom. Sitting on her mom's lap, she drives a car in the church parking lot. It can be dangerous, but she thinks it's a wonderful opportunity to be alone with her mom and get all her love. So every time Hannah needs her mom's attention, she says, "Mom, I need to take a driving lesson from you."
When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' (危机) is composed of two characters — one represents danger and one represents opportunity, as John F. Kennedy famously said. We, as a church, are going through turbulent times. On the one hand, we are in danger. But on the other hand, this is a perfect opportunity for us to get closer to God and one another.
Whether lying down in green pastures or walking through the darkest valley, God is with us. Our life journey is like driving a car, sitting on God's lap. He will never let us go. On this Mother's Day may we remember and honor our mothers, who have nurtured and cared for us. Most of all, may we remember the motherly love of God and say, "Thank You, God!"
You are invited to join us for our Mother's Day Service this Sunday. Mars Hill and Hodgdon churches gather at 9 am, and the Houlton at 11 am.
Have a very meaningful Mother's Day weekend.
In Christ,
Pastor Victor
