Accepting Her Gifts

Each of us specially gifted
given talents for the kingdom
leadership, or vision
of speaking in tongues

Whether our brother or sister,
a stranger, some other
all of us called
to bring souls to God

Each of us leaders
in some form or another
all of us called
to be messengers of Christ

Praise for the saints
those who have gone before us
faithful to their calling
part of why we are here at all

“Notes from Peter”, by Reverend Peter A. Hey,
about his sermon for Mother’s Day, May 9, 2010
“Lydia had the gift of giving. Her financial support of the early
Christian movement played a significant role in the church.
My sermon on Mother’s Day will help us appreciate her gifts
and the gifts of leadership that many women bring to the church.
I believe that loving, listening and learning are essential for leadership.
I will be preaching this sermon at the evening service, as well as
the morning services.”
