We at Calvary Bible had a great time yesterday. It was all about mom's and their kids. Yes the Men of Calvary ran the show yesterday. It really was kind of funny and just some good old fun too. What happen was, there was 4 students that are away for this special day. So they made up a video to tell our church how great their mom's really are.Then there was a time for us to guess which mom they were talking about. You know, tell a story about that mom until someone guess and tell the church who it was? Now the ones that were talked about were not aloud to speak at all. So I thought that was so neat that even telling their life story, how close we really are to each other.
Then Craig Knowels did the message. He really did a good job. He spoke of, what is going to happen to the Mother's Day of the future? You know with all that is going on with Gay marriages and things like that. What will happen to Mother's Day in ten years. Will men be telling each other Happy Mother day to them? Well I can tell you this, for the last couple of days now. I have been told Happy Mother's Day to ME. I asked one girl, WHY? She said we are all mothers. Then yesterday, Kevin talked with a friend before church. He said pretty much the same story. He said that we all came from Adam and then mom was here. I really think we are closer to the future that we really want to believe. I in my whole life have ever heard such junk.
I really hope and pray that, all you moms out there had a great day and that someone told you that you are special?
I know my moms have been very much on my heart these last couple of days. First of all. My mom, Eileen Marie Milliken Schafer. On Mother's Day back in 1966. My dad and her were in a car accident. During that week after, my mom had some troubles. I remember going to the hospital to give her a card. I was told by a nurse that she was not willing to see me at that time. I was told that she was to badly banged up. She didn't want me to see here like that. I remember going back home and asking my dad WHY? I really don't remember what he said. But I do know that following Sunday, all the family came over to the house and somewhat up set. I asked them what is wrong. My Uncle Wally took me for a walk around the yard at our house. He was walking and telling me that God needed my mom up in heaven that day. I was in shock. Remember now I was 14 years old. WHY would God need my mom? During the funeral I remember not crying, because I needed to be a man. I really never did cry until I was like in my 40's. I do remember visiting the grave for the first time after the funeral. My dad had sun glasses on and he was crying. Then we got to the cemetery and my dad didn't know where to go. I told him that the place was number 25 south. The reason was I was standing on that number during the funeral. I have been back to visit her about 12 years ago.
Okay now my step mom, Florence. My dad and her got marriage around my 16th birthday. She lived until up to 2008. She really was a good mom. She tried and I did call her mom pretty much from the beginning.
Where am I going with all this. I really not sure where they both are today. I know they have passed from this earth to where? All I ask of every one out there is, PLEASE enjoy you time with them, PLUS tell them about Jesus. I know my real mom, I didn't know Him then. But with Florence I did know Him. I have talked to her about Him many times. But like I said, not sure where they are?
