Water Has No Mother

Mother's Day Service at Bethlehem Baptist On Norfolk Street In Dorchester was remarkable.

Today, I took the offer and went with my mother and Ellis his aunts church. My visit to Bethlehem Baptist Church today felt equivalent to taking a trip down south, joining in worshipping with old folk in Henderson North Carolina.

In a very different manner, behind those walls, this congregation rocked--reminding me so much of a southern experience. The music was so rich, each vocalist informally shared their graceful gift of song, digging deep and singing rich lyrics that lifted my spirit...the choir brought back memories of my first and only trip to Henderson, when my grandmother passed, at her funeral where they sang with the same vigor.

An experience I desire to travel from state to state and join in. It is always a wonderful feeling to watch the presence of God, His power, creativity and peace resonate.

Like much of what the Pastor shared today about the capacity of mother's...the gift that it is, and the interesting components of motherhood. God and His Mother's

A mother is inspiration, she is essentially blessed with the gift to reproduce, and not only reproduce but instinctively, nurture, love, guide, understand, teach.

Trees have no mother. Nor darkness nor light, shared the Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church.

Water Has No Mother


Interesting but true...
