What a special couple of days spent together in fellowship, laughter, prayer, and encouragement. The ladies of Mandarin and sister congregations enjoyed a beautiful Friday and Saturday retreat focused on growing closer to one another and even closer to the Lord. Grateful for meaningful conversations, sweet friendships, and time set apart to rest, reflect, and grow in faith together.

May 25, is Memorial Day. The last Monday in May is designated as a day for Americans to remember and reflect on the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in service to their country. I don’t think I could forget the fact that fellow Americans I’ve never met fought and died in various wars over the last 250 years to guarantee my liberties. We don’t have Memorial Day because we will literally forget. We have Memorial Day because focused remembrance brings a reset. It enhances our appreciation and fosters humility.

God knows that His children need time of focused remembrance. Throughout the Old Testament, God commands His children to set up piles of stones or designate altars to bring about focused remembrance of what God has done. In the New Testament, as Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper, He says, “do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19 NIV).

As followers of Jesus, I doubt any of us would literally forget what Jesus has done for us. Yet we all need a time of focused remembrance to bring a reset, enhance our gratitude, and foster humility. Sure, we take communion every first day of the week because of the example set for us by the apostles in Acts 20. But we also take communion every first day of the week because you and I need focused remembrance on who Jesus is, what He has done, what He is doing, why it matters, and what He has called us to do.
..as we commune with the Lord and each other, may God help us to truly remember. And may that remembrance reset our hearts and minds for the week ahead, enhance our gratitude, and foster humility.

Each week I receive an email of encouragement from leadership coach Megan Hyatt Miller. I was particularly challenged by her words this week, and I want to share a portion of them exactly as written.

“This year, I made a real shift—from thinking about my life as something I owned, where I needed to take total ownership and control all the necessary variables to guarantee an outcome, to a posture of faithfulness. That posture begins with understanding myself rightly: as a creature, not a creator.

I don’t own the outcomes. I don’t own my business. I don’t own my family. I don’t own myself. I don’t control the uncontrollable. I have influence, to be sure. I have agency, to be sure. But I exercise those things with an appropriate level of humility and, at the same time, responsibility. I take diligent action to honor God and work for his glory, but ultimately, I entrust the outcomes to him.

For me, this has been a lesson in faith and a path away from anxiety. And part of what I’ve learned is that self-reliance—which I had always thought of as a virtue—is often just practical atheism in disguise.

I had been living as though there were no God. As though there were not someone holding it all together, someone ordering my steps, someone working all things together for good. And so, I was shouldering and carrying something that wasn’t mine to carry.”

Everything I have, and every relationship I cherish, is a gift from God to be stewarded for His honor and glory. An attitude of stewardship aligns our priorities and releases us from burdens God never meant for us to carry. Stewardship is better than ownership.

… I am part of a club of millions who wish they
could say, “Happy Mother’s Day” one more time. While I miss my mom every day, the memories of her love and her life lessons warm my heart.

Mom taught me how to be approachable.
Mom taught me how to love my family fiercely.
Mom taught me how to love my spouse sacrificially.
Mom taught me how to love Jesus unconditionally.
Mom taught me to laugh at myself and with others.
Mom taught me how to refuse to give up.
Mom taught me it’s ok to cry, but not everything is worth crying over.
Mom taught me to refuse to put people in a box of my personal expectations.
Mom taught me that my church family should be loved like Jesus loves, period.
What did your mom teach you? If you can tell her thank you today, tell her!

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done.
(Proverbs 31:30-31 a NIV)
