In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.

Celebrating Moms! Friendship Wesleyan Church 1285 102nd Ave., Plainwell

_____________________________________
It has been said the strength of a nation is found in a mother’s influence. Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John Fitzgerald Kennedy all had strong mothers. Abraham Lincoln said, “All I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” There are, of course, many exemplary mothers in the Bible. One of them is Ruth, a young Moabite woman, and the main character in an Old Testament book that bears her name. In today’s world she would be considered a Jordanian. Let’s take a closer look and begin by saying, 1. Ruth was Strong in her Loyalty. Forced out of Bethlehem because of a famine, a man named Elimelech, his wife, Naomi and their two sons fled to the country of Moab. The sons both married Moabite women; one of them was named Ruth. Sadly, the men in the family died leaving Ruth and her mother-in-law widows. When the famine ended, Naomi chose to return to her home in Judah. Ruth then made a dangerous decision. She may have chosen to stay in the comforts of her own people. Rather, she chose out of a spirit of loyalty, to leave her homeland. Since the Moab nation was despised by the Jews, she chose to live in an unfriendly environment. Thus, she chose loyalty over comfort. Mothers often face hard decisions. Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (March 4, 1933-April 12, 1945) said, “The best thing you can do as a mother is to follow your instinct. Don’t worry about what other people say; do what you feel is the right decision for you and your family.” 2. Ruth was Strong in her Love. It was truly an Old Testament love story. Arriving in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest, Ruth gleaned the fields to help support herself and Naomi. There she caught the attention of a wealthy farmer named Boaz, a distant cousin of Naomi. According to Hebrew Law, he was able to marry her after buying her late husband’s share of the ancestral estate (Deuteronomy 25:5-10). She became a loving mother. I Corinthians 13 has been called the world’s greatest treatise on love ever written. The main thought: love is the supreme gift. If we fail to love, nothing else matters. A mother’s love nurtures growth, shapes character and encourages goodness. We are better persons because our mothers love(d) us. The true measure of love is how it is passed down from generation to generation. This leads to a final point. 3. Ruth was Strong in her Legacy. Their first born son was Obed, the father of Jesse and grandfather of David. This would be in the line of Jesus the Messiah (Matthew 1:5-6). The legacy does not end there. The story of Ruth is prophetic in a sense. It speaks of a time to come when Messiah (Jesus Christ) would bring to earth a love that makes no distinction between Jews and Gentiles (Romans 10:11-13; Galatians 3:28). However we may describe strong mothers, the important thing is that all of us know the Source of our strength (Psalm 46:1).
To all our mothers, Happy Mother’s Day!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for strong mothers. In Your strong name we pray. Amen.

ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! Say hello to URSALA Ursala was surrendered to the Allegan County Animal Shelter when her previous family relocated and did not take her with them. She was unsure of her surroundings and all the new people, so she was timid and shy for the first several weeks at the shelter. Slowly she started to feel safe and more confident. The dog we see today is a much more outgoing doggy, and is ready for her forever family to love and cherish her. Ursala is a good mix of playful and loving! She likes to run around and be goofy and L O V E S belly rubs. Ursala is two years old and weighs approximately 65 pounds. Ursala's forever home could include a calmer male dog. If you already have a male dog in the home, please fill out an adoption application and ask for a meet and greet between the two dogs. Learn more about adoption process at wishbonepetrescue.com
