The Millen News, Wednesday, May 13, 2009 — Page 5 In Memoriam Church News On Mother’s Day In loving memory of my two sons Anthony N. Sherrod Richard D. Sherrod Jr. My two sons, I always wanted you. Even when I was a little girl. Playing with baby dolls. Then God gave me you. My two sons, I clothed you and fed you, I rocked you and sang you a lullaby. It was wonderful. I wanted it to last forever, But quickly you grew older. With sturdy legs and grinning faces. Now you are young men, both over six feet tall, It feels like you don’t need me very much, And I have to let you go, And trust God to care for you. And now all I can do is watch and pray. And let God clothe you and feed you. And rock you and sing you a lullaby, And it will be wonderful. Sadly missed, Mother On Mother’s Day In loving memory of our mother Mrs. Jennie Mosley You can only have one Mother, Patient, kind and true. No other friend in all the world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, To Mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine. And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message. To our dear Mother up above. Tell her how we miss her. And give her all our love. Truly missed, Children & Grandchildren In loving memory of James E. Washington Oct. 29. 1963 - May 3. 2007 I was sitting around thinking just the other day. My how time has flown since you have passed away. A tear drop here, a tear drop there, a tear drop almost everywhere. My heart is still heavily laden with grief, I pray that the Lord will send down relief. As I go through life still missing you here, I know that God has a resting place near.

NT The month of May is a special month, the epitome of Spring, and a vivid reminder of the power of life. In the month of May, new life seemingly bursts forth from every conceivable crevice. Buds peak out on the boughs of almost every tree, while the fields literally explode with new growth. Eggs that have been carefully kept warm are now new hatchlings squawking for food, and their food wiggles out of the recently thawed ground after each gentle rain in the form of fresh worms. Nature has a way of providing for its denizens, and the month of May reminds us, as perhaps no other month can, that life is indomitable; it keeps coming back, no matter what. However, even though life is hardy and resilient, it should not blind us to the fact that it can also be fragile. Atoxic chemical spill can kill thousands of God’s creatures, and it is obvious to most of us that human activity can sometimes have a deleterious effect on nature. That God gave us dominion over the animals should not be construed as the right to do whatever we please with nature. The concept of dominion is essentially modeled on the concept of lordship or kingship, and we would certainly not consider a king to be a good sovereign if he harmed his subjects for no other reason than his good pleasure. In the same way, we should be good stewards of the natural environment, and take care of it so that it will continue to take care of us. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
