The new session of Mom 2 Mom is off to a great start. It was so nice to see all of the returning faces as well as a few new ones. From the buzz in the room it sounded like great fellowship was happening throughout the morning. Though we usually don't have a speaker the first week of the session, Kerri graced us with a humerous and heartfelt devotion. We all laughed as she told us to "put a ribbon in your hair". She challenged us with two thoughts from the attitude and actions of Rebecca in Genesis 24. First, when Abraham's servant approached her, she went above and beyond when she drew water not only for Abraham's servant but all of the thirsty camels as well. And second, she was joyful in the tedious work.
Motherhood is full of tedious tasks. Tasks that can be tiring and thankless. But when we choose to have a joy filled attitude we are making our home a place of peace and order. A place that our husband will want to come home to. A place that our children will want to spend time in. A great reminder for us all!
The list of speakers this session is both diverse and interesting. I look forward to what the next seven weeks will bring as new friendships are formed and we are challenged in our ministry of motherhood. And, again, let me say welcome! We are thrilled that you are here.
