Harold Reynolds, ESPN baseball analyst and one-time AllStar second baseman for the Mariners, wrote of growing up
in Oregon. He emulated the NBA player, Gus Williams, as he said: Gus tied
his shoes in back instead of in front like normal. I thought that was so cool,
so I started tying my shoes in the back. I wanted to be like Gus. He wore
number 10; I wore number 10. But one day as Harold was lying in bed with a
severe stomach ache, he recalled: I noticed that it was not my sports hero, Gus
Williams, who came to my room to take care of me; it was my mother. Thats
when I began to understand the difference between heroes and role models.
I try to emulate people with strong character who are doing things of lasting
value. Your mom may not be famous or even seemingly talented or brilliant, but
she has had a huge impact on your life.
Have you placed your faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior and
not yet professed your faith through believers baptism?
This is a perfect opportunity. Please call Linda at 5968600 x280 to register. You can also stop by our Beach
Baptism table in the Commons for more information.
I am particularly grateful for the godly example of my wife as she has mothered
our three children and for my oldest daughter, Kristin, as she mothers four little
ones. They both are certainly role models and serve the Lord not only with their
ministries in the church, but in the home. Though both are beautiful outwardly,
they are even more lovely inwardly, with adorning in the inner person of the
heart (1 Peter 3:4).
Our youngest daughter, Allyson, has long had a love for orphans. She and Scott
are in the process of adopting a child in Ohio. Their hearts have been enlarged,
as Paul described. I am confident that she will be a wonderful mother. Please
also be in prayer for the birth mother in these last months. They are open to
whomever God gives to them.
I am also grateful for how my mother sacrificed much for me as an asthmatic
child, willing to give up her home and possessions in the south in order to take
me to a hot, dry climate in Arizona. While the Lord performed healing in my
body, for years it continued to be difficult for my mother to adjust to the changes
in culture. However, she and my dad were used by God to save my life by their
sacrifice. All who have been blessed by me have heard a voice that is informed
by scripture and one with physical strength and clarity.
Mothers, thank you for sticking by all of us children when we sinned in behavior
or were sullen in attitude. Thank you for demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ:
Leaving an example like Christ so that we might follow in His steps (1 Peter
2:21). May you have a happy Mothers Day as you also hear the well done of
your Lord.
*There is a guest reception in the Commons following the Saturday night and
