The World Needs Mums, The World Needs You (Lifes Laundry)
You're a wonderful bunch of people.
I'll say that again. You're a wonderful. You're a wonderful bunch of people. It was you didn't believe me the first time. You run the show?
My title is a big title today. The world Needs Moms. The world needs you. Show me, gluten everybody in this is he's not just a seven for mums. Please whenever I mention mom's all the way through this so I know there are some who would not old enough to be mom's yet? There was some who maybe I'll grab mom's or ounces or sisters. If you were a lady include yourself in this because, you know, we need on Z's. We need Oz, is one of the things I love about being a multicultural church is like to learn from other cultures and some of our Nigerian children when they came in, when they first started to get to know, it's like to call you what to how to do this.
I don't want to see if you were lady didn't. I didn't need to remember name so you know I'm cool. I thought that's cool. Why don't you talk to yourself? If you can't remember. Somebody's name is sister brother, Auntie Uncle. The world Needs Moms. The world needs you. Somebody once famously said The UK needs you old Britain needs you? Yeah, this is a very true even now Church, the world needs us. The road Needs Mom has the world Needs Moms. There are so many disenfranchised children who don't feel to have a place. They can cool high and we dug. Field is a place that's safe.
I once was a very young man, who we contact you through use, who every time he walked in the house. He walked to the fridge and he open the door. And then you shut the door again. He wasn't taking anything out the fridge. It was his place to check in that it was okay cuz if there was food in the fridge he was going to get dinner. I mean we lost but you know there are people who live in the fridge. There's nothing
I'm just thinking about the physicality now but wait. Let's think about mum's walk into a room when you don't get a hug. Walk in the room when you don't get a welcome. We need. Welcome has we need a welcomed asset church. We need mum's to give us a hug. We need that's the give us a hug to. Let me read from Proverbs chapter 31. This is just a great encouragement, she is clothed with strength and dignity. She can laugh. But the days to come, she speaks with wisdom. And faithful instruction is in her tongue. She watches over the effects of a household and does not eat the bread of idleness her children, arise up, and call her blessed. My husband also, and he sees her, I wanted to celebrate. Mom's, thank you for helping to create homes. we need homes, the world needs homes, the church need homes, but my own see was was a particularly good lady at creating a sense of home you ever want to walk into a house to decide where the center of gravity is What is it? The front door! Is it business at the front door? You feel welcome. But then you have to go in the kitchen. Is it the living room? Where is it? That you feel you can linga and have a conversation?
Results of that. Surround moms. It is often around food to Let's take a moment to reflect upon the beautiful rolls that mums have. What, just what you call Mom's. But my mom said those who love us with the heart of Christ.
And I want to include in that, not just fly logical connection. But step moms, foster moms spiritual moms, and aunties and uncles, The world Needs Moms. The world needs you. It's a Divine truth confusion Brokenness. Do you know what? Sometimes the mother's heart can cut through all that rubbish. The love of God can shine forth offering stability and strength and love the reflex God's nature.
Cuz that's what moms do.
Sometimes, I'm pretty good at hugging to. But no everyone of us we haven't been harmed by someone who doesn't want to be helped. Have you ever heard of someone who doesn't want to be hugged? I called it the Hedgehog effects. You're much too much of the Hedgehog, but it doesn't matter. You pick topic tells itself up in the pool and all the spine stick out, just like children who don't want to be hugged. And, please include yourself in the children pictures. Now, we got will stiffen the rigid and we stay stiff and rigid, say I'm not going to be hard. I am not going to be hugged. Do you know who put the persistent hug breaks through the persistent? Hug brakes are independently a child or you yield just like the yield to the father? I'm going cycling to the hoppy. As we settle in suddenly relax and be sent to space.
Mum's, reflect God's night cuz I saw a 66 verse 13. As a mother Comforts her child. So will I comfort you? And you will be comforted. Oh Jerusalem.
when the child things that do that for walks into something, Sometimes you'll notice, those were the best ones will look around and see if anybody is not dispersed and then they'll decide whether they're going to cry or no. But if it really hurts, we cry.
Under. Yeah, there are plenty of people, plenty of folk, Who was Hera cry and feel. We have to do something. if you store a child, Ohio to child in a shopping mall, The science times as a child in the push that screaming his head off. Your everybody will be looking what's going on. That's why I sometimes moms and dads are in virus with their children is screaming. They got everybody's looking at me.
You know what there's something in night in us, when we hear a cry, we want to do something. Even out of Teddy, when he is a child Cry, he's kind of somebody going to do something about this. Cry calls for response. It's always a mother Comforts her child so God will come for us. Isn't it wonderful that God Compares himself to a mum without maternal Hall? Is one thing I can say this is true.
They both of them and that's the definition of a chart. Am a mother a woman who's given birth to children. I'm so what we see it to send to Nessa DC's a gentleness and compassion nurturing, the father of God. Showing through the hands of a mother. Church or those listing at home. If you gave a present today to the woman in the household, the mother lets the time-saving gadget I want you to be generous and not just give them the gadget, the thing, but give them the time as well.
Your week, we have lots of time to this thing here. This mobile phone is meant to be a Time Saver. How many people think that mobile phone is a Time Saver?
I think it's a time go before me. So she'll be there was a time table. And I think it was 60 years ago, that was a full cast of said, will only work 3 days, 3 hours a day. That was what they were looking for it in the 21st century, but I need work for 3 hours a day. Anybody working less Know, what do we do with the time that we save? Is anybody going to bank account for time? So when I say if you've given a time-saving gift to a mum today, that means that she should have said sometime. But mum's, please take that time. So if maybe somebody says I'm going to cook you lunch today, Set an alarm to go and then do the ironing. What instead of cooking lunch, allow mom grandma on Z, put your feet up, enjoy a cup of coffee or a cup of tea or whatever your your preferred drink is. But take some time. Take some time today.
2, Timothy 1 verse 5. I am reminded of you and sit your sincere Faith which person lived in your grandmother Loris. I didn't your mother Eunice and I am persuaded now lives in. You also do know moms are Builders of generations of generations.
Timothy spice was strong, but it didn't come from nowhere. It came from something you'd learned from his mom and it came from something he learned from his grandma. Do you know, we have tomatoes stuff? What's the saying?
Thanks. I don't do what I do. Do what I say, do what I do and you want to do that. But you know what? I do want to see some little things, right? That's not just say things.
I think of some simple things in church too, and I'm taking up our Tyson offerings as we moved into a digital worlds. We passed the ball rounds and people just know them smile because they give me electronically in this is nothing wrong with that. But you know what? I wonder what are children say? I want to watch children, see when they see the boat and they see if I can walk into a shop and I can go to the 2 and I can just not in the smile at that. The operation and then walk out, I wonder whether anything would happen.
God knows when we've been generous, giving God knows when you give him to file Beyond. I know of people who put the whole whole salary in the offering bow,
Some people wouldn't have knocked some people know, but God sees God knows.
I'd like you to just wind you'll type back and think about the last time someone read you a bedtime story.
Something that helps to relax you and please, I'm not talking about listening to a an audiobook on your phone to help you wind down.
Did you like Mom's help us to wind down? How was the wine down? Or they may be helpless to save price? Helping the Next Generation to muddle the right foundations of the future.
Moms are Builders of generations sacrifice.
You're on a weekly basis. We see people come into our building, a Virginia launched on a Monday or come to Food Bank. I mean, they don't particularly want to be that but they come in because they got a voucher they're able to take some food away. I mean, soaking to 10, to people who come in to talk to mum's particular, huge sighting of this week, I had to go without dinner. So that my children could be fat.
Nothing. Wow, you wouldn't notice, you wouldn't know. But that sacrifice was made because mum's lay down time. They lay down time they laid down their rest. Think about a child he's not sleeping. Well, I don't know what to do. They cry. That's seeking comfort. You may already be completely exhausted. And yet even so you still got out to pick up the child and comfort them. Thank you, mom's thinking, mom's for the loving us with Comfort. Some mums have laid down dreams. The Others May Rice. But I have heard many, many, many times I work hard so that you don't have to go through the battles that like, being through. Now, being a mom is not always a glamorous thing. When you seasick down somebody's front and you think, I'll bless you. Do you know what? It's a holiday thing. It's a precious thing. The sacrificial Love Goes Way Beyond. Need the hours that mums and dads put in unseen. Looking off the children, caring for them in the middle of the night, encouraging them, when they had nightmares in this guide, giving them a gentle hug.
I could say that's true about mum's glycol, citrate safe, true about us. Maybe you'll feeling tired today, maybe you'll feeling exhausted today. Maybe you'll feeling unnoticed or unsure. What you doing enough? but hear this church hear this at home, the world needs you when you're tired and weary the world still needs you, when you've gone to the end of yourself, the world still needs you
When you run out of resources, the world still needs you, I didn't want you on fire. Doesn't want to talk. I don't worry you, it wants an energized. You do. You know what, where you stand alongside someone? Who's on fire, who's, who's full of energy and passion? You catch something? Or you get something of the Overflow.
Whether it's sleepless nights will navigating teenage challenges. Or some other spiritual challenge, you know, we need one another, the church needs aunties and uncles, the church needs moms and dads the world's need that model to remember. I said, let's model something as well as say we can't just say we need good moms and dads, we need to model, good moms, and dads. We need to model for the generosity of Heart full of gratitude and encouragement. So let me say this, keep on serving, keep on investing, keep on encouraging, keep trusting.
Bobby's coming.
The Harvest is coming to the next. The next room is coming, the big guy is coming. There are people who come and gone has prophesied it and so it will be And we need to be ready for it.
So I want to bring a call to gratitude and encouragement today. Let's not just celebrate mom's with carrots and flowers. That lovely the nice but let's celebrate mom's with gratitude with owner. Ending prayer. I'm so fancy. I want to say this to you mom's, I want to say it three things. Ladies don't want you to hear this. I want the women amongst the church and those listing of hiding likes her to hear this. You are more than enough.
You are more than enough. You are deeply loved.
And you all doing Kingdom work. Billy Graham's wife said, I have a Route 66 Ministry. Do you know why she said that? Cuz he was out traveling often going Ministry and crew sites around the world. She's the drive up and down Route 66 cuz all of our children live somewhere on Route 66, it's like she was being a grandmother and then a grandmother as I grew up and she said that's my Ministry. My Ministry is to make sure that my children and my grandchildren follow Jesus. He said if he would like to do at the end of the day, is all my grandchildren are passionately following Jesus. I've done my job. and I thought, wow, I'm so much of that Ministry, so much of that work is hidden Is hidden. So you are more than enough and when you come to the place when you say, I don't have any more Look to Him.
You are doing Kingdom work. And sometimes we just one, that's what I can do. If the father encourages you to look a little further, just trust him for more. And you all think he locked. Because God sent his one and only son that whosoever believes in Him. Should not perish but have everlasting life. And I just want to end with ladies. I want to stay the same again to the church. Church you all more than enough. Men and women, you are more than enough men and women you all doing good. You all doing good. You all doing good and you're doing Kingdom work.
