Scripture

1 Peter 2:2-10 (NKJV)

2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion

A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone,”

8 and

“A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.”

They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

Mothers’ Day Prayer

God's Helpers

God could not be in every place With loving hands to help erase

The teardrops from each baby's face, And so He thought of mother.

He could not send us here alone And leave us to a fate unknown; Without providing for His own,

The outstretched arms of mother.

God could not watch us night and day And kneel beside our crib to pray,

Or kiss our little aches away; And so He sent us mother.

And when our childhood days began, He simply could not take command. That's why He placed our tiny hand

Securely into mother's.

An Honorarium for Mother’s Day ($50) is going to Moravian Disaster Response of Board of World Mission to help in Peru.
