Last meeting of the year... Thrusday, May 21, 2009

Our last meet we introdused the new theme for next year, took a survey of the spring half of the year and introduced our two graduates. Our craft was a beaded bracelet that went along with the poem (under the picture).

A MOM'S COLORFUL WORLD
Does Mothering really matter? Does anyone really care?
The PURPLE bead means I'm significant A Godly mother is rare. It's easy to lose my idenity. Sometimes I'm not sure who I am.
The PEARL reminds me that I'm unique In the eyes of the Son of Man.
GREEN speaks that I'm growing Developing patience every day As circumstances confront me And I see the need to pray. When sometimes those around me Don't seem to understand
The RED reminds me "I need the Lord" To stay close and hold my hand.
The color ORANGE represents "caution" When I'm not sure where to go I need to move ahead slowly The Lord will lead me I know.
The YELLOW is a warning For me to stop or slow down To accept some help from time to time Friends offering assistance abound. There are also time when I need a break
The PINK stands for having fun So get away and try to relax And play 'til the day is done. As the days and weeks turn into months It's easy to lose perspective
The CLEAR bead reminds me to think clearly And ask the Lord how to live.
The color BLUE stands for the vastness of life There's a race I need to run I will leave each day for Jesus 'Til I hear the words, "Well Done!" -Author unknown

>We will be meeting at McKinley Park the 1st and 3rd Thursday of June from 11ish-1. Please join us and bring your own lunch.
