Moms, sometimes we as husbands and children don’t always think through what we say or do. We’re like the following boy who got his first job:

As he was boasting about the amount of work he did, he said, “I get up at 5 a.m. and have my breakfast.” He was asked, “Does anyone else get up too?” He replied, “Oh yes, Mother gets up and fixes my breakfast and then fixes Dad’s breakfast.”

“And what about your dinner?” The boy said, “Oh, Mother fixes that, too.”

“Does your mother have the afternoon to herself?” The boy replied, “No, Mama cleans the house, looks after the other children, and then gets supper for me and Dad when we come home. Then we watch TV before we go to bed.”

“What about your Mother? What does she do?” The boy replied, “Mama washes some clothes and irons the rest of the evening.”

“Do you get paid?” “Of course, Dad and I get paid.”

“And what about your mother, does she get paid, too?”

The boy replied, “MOTHER, GET PAID?! MOTHER DON’T GET PAID. SHE DON’T DO NO WORK.”

Sometimes we are insensitive, thoughtless, and thankless. But deep down, we do love you. Thank you for loving us, forgiving us, taking care of us, and praying for us.

Happy Mother’s Day!

At City View during this time of year, we also like to remember all those who have passed. While the slideshow is just for our Veterans, the Bouquets of Remembrance are for anyone who has passed that we want to remember. Please list any of those on the appropriate list on the I Care Table. If you have any questions, feel free to find me.

Thank you all for your love and support,
Jan J.

• Mother’s Day. Our mothers are such blessing to us. I know you cannot wait to show them how much you appreciate them.
• Parent-Child Dedication. We have had several births this year. As a church, we want to commit ourselves to support these families. We also want to encourage these parents to commit themselves before the Lord to raise their child to know and honor God. Note: Parents of our newborns, if you have not talked to Jan J., please see her today. We want to make sure we have names and pictures, etc.

Please give some attention to the following:

• Memorial for Armed Service Personnel. We want to remember and honor our deceased family members who served our Nation through the military by displaying their picture and name during the worship service. Note: Please provide us the name, title, and picture of the deceased Armed Service Personnel you want us to remember no later than Sunday, May 20.
• Bouquet of Remembrance. This will be a special time in our service where will we remember your deceased family member(s). We will call their name and allow you to place a flower in the different bouquets in their memory. Note: Please provide us with the name of the person you want us to remember by Sunday, May 20.

Did you know that your old newspapers can be a blessing to City View Baptist Church?

Yes, you can help us out financially by saving your old newspapers* and those from a neighbor or two. Just keep them clean and dry. Drop them off in the newspaper recycling bin that is already set up in our back parking lot across from the playground.

In addition to newspapers, we also accept the following:

* Magazines, office paper, catalogs, junk mail, file folders, index cards, colored copy paper, and also plain and window envelopes. For cardboard containers, please call first!

If you have any questions about the acceptability of any type of paper, please call SP Recycling Corp., 2824 Hoitt Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee 37917
(865) 523-NEWS (6397)

We are currently in need of craft workers and also a few additional teachers.

If you want to help but did not attend last Tuesday’s meeting, please contact Tina P.
