Please pray for Taylor Russel's family, Taylor jump off a boat in the
Amite River, never came up, and died. His wife is about to have a baby (
due

earth. So please pray for his family and friends.-Natalie G.
Hey could y'all be praying for the Haile family. Pastor Haile has been having problems with his heart. Thank y'all! -Emma C.
Hey girls, as well as the Russel family and Haile family, be praying for the White
family. Mr. White had heart surgery last week, and it didn't work. He
went to be with Jesus on Friday morning. If you could keep his family in
your prayers that would be great! Thanks so much. :)
God is GREAT! God is GOOD!

Honor Thy Mother.....
Wow! It's kind of hard for me to believe that it's already Mother's Day again! Whenever I think about Mother's Day I always think of way's I can honor my mother on this special occasion. I mean, seriously! She carried me in her womb for 9 months! And then, as if that wasn't hard enough, she gave birth to me and raised me! She deserves honor for sure! Most of the time when we think about the verse in Exodus chapter 20 that says "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." I always think about what it means to honor someone. Immediately obedience comes to mind, especially when I think about that verse. But what does it really mean to honor someone? In Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language it says that to honor means to Respect, to treat with Deference and Submission. So honoring isn't just about obedience. It's so much more than that. It's about respect, deference, and submission. So treat your mother with respect. She deserves it. Obey her, God commands us to do so. Submit to her authority. She knows a whole lot more about life than you do. Remember, at one point, she was just as old as you are. And chances are, she went through the same thing you are going through. So you see, honoring your mother doesn't just take place once a year on Mother's Day. It's an all the time thing. She deserves your honor. This Mother's Day see what you can do to make her job just a little bit easier. Do what you can. No matter if it's big or small, do something. It means a lot to mother's to have their kids do something for them! :) But don't just help your mother out once a year, do it every day and whenever you get the chance! If you see something that needs to be done, go ahead and do it! Oh and obviously, don't forget to tell your mom that you love her! Mom's love to hear that!
God is GREAT! God is GOOD!

Hey girls :) I bet ya'll have something awesome planned for tomorrow... I did. Haha, my present didn't come yet in the mail so my mom will get a belated surprise sometime next week I hope! This Mother's Day has been different for me. I'm getting ready to graduate high school next week, and I've been thinking a lot about how much my mom has invested in me throughout my life. She has taught me so much. I've also realized how our relationship has changed over the years. She doesn't just help me like a mom who ties her daughter's hair bows anymore. She has put so much time into all the paperwork I've been dealing with for scholarships and the like; she's hauled me all over Texas so I could reach my goals. She has been a friend, the best of friends. Seriously, who else would put up with me like she does? But way too often, I just take it for granted because she's my mom. I just imagine it's her job. Guess what? It's not! Yes, she had a responsibility to help feed and clothe me as a little girl and to try to teach me what she knows, but she does NOT have to do all that she does to make my life better. Not even close! MY job is to be grateful to her and show her honor. Titus 2:3-5 talks about letting the older women teach the younger women. As we get older and we are given more freedom, I believe this verse applies our mother-daughter relationships as much as any verse that specifically calls out parents and children. Part of the honor we are asked to give her from the very beginning is to learn from her as a woman. The more we are willing to learn, the more we will develop a true friendship and this is a friendship that will last. Our mothers and our sisters are the friends that GOD picked out for us. Other friends will come and go, but we will always have them. Remember that. Value them. I've learned this lesson over and over, and it keeps coming back again. Friends mean well, but things happen, and they disappear or fade away. Only one friend here on earth has stood by me since the day I was born, and that is my mom. Take advantage of the years you have with her, and be the best friend you can be, because she probably already is, and she deserves it!keep smiling,autumn clare~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
