Happy JOYful Mother’s Day: A gift for mom from Pam and Bill Farrel

Joyful Mother’s Day!

Love is expressed in many ways. While I am writing this quick note to you, my husband is working hard to remodel his mom’s kitchen. One of my sons is doing yard work and planting flowers as a gift to his mother-in-law.

Sometimes love is expressed in words. On occasion when my sons ask what I would like as a Mother’s Day gift, I usually reply, “Words that make me cry happy tears” (Reminder: Call your mom!)

Last week, Bill and I were watching our grandkids because their parents had work obligations that had them both out of town for a few days at the same time. We enjoyed taking the grands on wagon rides, to Chick-Fil-A for the climbing play yard, pushed them on the swings, jumped on the trampoline and read picture books—we had a grand time with the grands! However, at bedtime, or if there was a scratch or tumble our three-year-old didn’t cry out for us she cried, “M-O-M-M-Y!!!!”

There is just something special about MOM.

To celebrate Mother’s Day, and the release of our newest book, (THIS Tuesday May 14) my co-author, Karla Dornacher created a downloadable card that you can have the children of your family fill out (or we grownups can fill it out and send to our mom too) Mom, you bring JOY to my life by: (then fill in the blanks and THANK your mother). Our three-year-old granddaughter says her mom brings her joy because “She gives me kisses, takes me to church and brings me presents!”  Click here to download the MOM Day  card.

Our God-Sized JOY

This week we were overJOYED when we got the news that Discovering Joy in Philippianswas #1 on Amazon in New Testament Bible Studies!

Joy is a natural result when you and God have been teaming together for many long months or years toward a goal, or something you have spent many days and nights praying for becomes a reality. Paul’s encouragement on prayer is now one of the most quoted and beloved verses:

Do not be anxious for anything but in every situation, by PRAYER and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and minds in Christ Jesus(Phil 4:6-7)

Praying this for you verse from Philippians 3:1 NLT for you and those you love:

Whatever happens, my dear brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord. I never get tired of telling you these things, and I do it to safeguard your faith.

Safeguard your faith with JOY!

God bless you, your mom, and all those you love,

 

Pam and Bill Farrel
