Mother's Day 2011

What a special day as we honored all of our Mothers. Each Mother was presented a beautiful cookbook made by our children here at Hopewell. For the past couple of months Sis. Lisa had been collecting favorite bible verses from all of the ladies which she compiled to create lovely Prayer Boxes. The boxes were filled with 52 beautifully printed scripture cards to uplift and encourage our ladies to meditate daily and know God's word. All of our mothers were also given a sweet treat on this special day.

In memory of all of our mothers who has passed from this life

God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply – Mother.
