Come visit us, our doors are always open to you! In-carnation colors have special mean- ings. Pink carries the rich- est Christian symbolism. According to legend, carna- tions first appeared on earth as Mary wept while watch- ing Jesus carry his cross. Where her tears fell, there appeared pink carnations, symbolizing a mother's un- dying love. According to one theory, the English word for carna- tion comes from carnis, Lat- in for flesh. From the same root comes incarnation, God's coming to earth in flesh. Thus, carnations re- mind us of our loving moth- ers as well as our loving Sav- ior. OTWELL WESLEYAN CHURCH Mother's Day is the carna- tion, the favorite flower of the mom of the holiday's founder, Anna Jarvis.

Douglas Low, Minister and be happy because your brother was lost, but now he is found" (Luke 15:32). A minister wrote, "when and mistress were away was uncertain when they would return. A friend visited her and feeling rather tired went in to rest. When she got up she saw that the servant had gone to all kinds of trouble to lay the table for tea as if her master and mistress were coming home that hour. She questioned the ser- vant whether the master and mistress were coming home that day, but her friend an- swered, "I have not heard, but as the time is uncertain, I always have everything ready each day."

God said, "A mother needs a lap. A father needs strong shoulders to pull a sled or to hold a sleepy head on the hands, they were large. The angel shook her head and said, "Large hands can't manage diapers, small but- tons, rubber bands on po- ny tails, or even splinters caused from baseball bats."
