I was looking at a magazine stating all the different blogs to log in.  There were finance blogs, lifestyle blogs, news blogs, pop cast blogs, sports blogs, TV blogs, movie blogs, music blogs and the list goes on.

Today, I was thinking what to title this blog.

I was feeling kind of sad, and then some children came around me wanting to show me how to find an invisible story for scratching a picture with a pencil.  The story revealed how God made the world.

Then I was feeling a little weak, when I remembered in the Bible where is says “the joy of the Lord is my strength”

Then I was feeling thankful.  I had just told a friend how Jesus changed my life.  Is my life not without struggles? No, however I accepted Jesus as my Savior to help me through the struggles.

I guess I would title this today as “Jesus, the calmer of mood swings”.

Next week is Mother’s Day.   I remember my mother as an active and vivacious lady. She is now in a care center, not active at all, sometimes knowing me and sometimes not.  It is painful to leave her after a visit. I pray God will take her home soon without any suffering.

However, when I visit and speak of church, she lights up.  For you see, her and my father’s life was church.  They were not ministers just lay people who loved Jesus and loved to work in the church. That love is still in her spirit.

When my husband was studying for his ministerial credentials, mother knew we wanted a church of our own to pastor. She told us she would be praying for a church in the area, because she wanted us to be close to her.

With realistic thinking, I explained to her that there were not any churches in this area available to pastor at that time.  She seemed disappointed but that didn’t stop my mother from praying and believing for the miracle that was to happen for us.

Four years passes, Mother became ill, my husband and I became her caregivers.  During this time, God was also preparing a church for us to pastor here locally. It was all about God’s timing. It was all about a Mother’s fervent prayer.

God answered Mother’s prayer for us to have a church close and He also took care of her by having us close to care for her.

Never underestimate the power of a Mother’s Prayer.
