Dear friends of BCUC,Happy Mother’s Day to all our mothers.  Today is a day when we stop and reflect on our mothers, past and present. It was only when I became a mother, that I really appreciated all my mother had done for me.  With hindsight I realise how hard she worked – and how lazy I was!!  She had a servant heart that amazes me now as I think back on what she did, not only for her family but the community.  She volunteered at several places and seemed to spend a lot of time cooking one thing or another.  My mother would never have said she had any gifts, but she did – she had the gift of service and of making people welcome in her home. Today’s reading from Acts 9: 36-43 is about another wonderful woman, a woman who used her gift of sewing to build and support the community.  Her love for Jesus led her to serve her community and when she died people deeply mourned her passing.  Peter was called and through the power of prayer and the grace of God the Father, Tabitha is raised from the dead and returned to the community who loved her.  God gives us all gifts to use; may we use them to glorify His kingdom. BlessingsMerle
