Immanuelle
God was present in my mother
God came in the flesh in my mother
With unconditional love
Forbearance and forgiveness
Listening to my confession of faith-
My lack of faith
Weeping as I poured out my soul
My doubts my disbelief
Sharing my pain, suffering for me
Offering me redemption
Comforter of the wounded-
John back from Vietnam
Consoler of the weary-
Martha from off the streets
Counselor of anyone who turned to her
In need…
She died and ascended into heaven
I long for her resurrection
~Rev. Dr. Chuck Robertson
______________________________
Immanuelle
Dios estaba presente en mi madre
Dios vino en la carne de mi madre
Con el amor incondicional,
Tolerancia y perdon
Para escuchar mi confesion de fe-
Mi falta de fe
Llorando al ver mi sufrimiento,
Eran tantas mis dudas, mi incredulidad
Compartia mi dolor y sufrimiento
Y me ofrecia el perdon;
Consuelo de los heridos
Mi hermano John regresa de Vietnam,
Consolador de los cansados.
Mi hermana Martha regresa de las calles,
Consejera de todo aquel que se volvio a ella,
En necesidad ….
Mi madre murio y ascendio al cielo
Y yo, yo desespero por su resurreccion
~Rev. Dr. Chuck Robertson, traducción para José Haro

Mom’s Sunday Dinner
Roast beef and string beans
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Cole slaw and sweet desert
At mom’s Sunday dinner
So get the sermon over
The roast is in the oven
We all want to get home
To mom’s Sunday dinner
It was put in the oven
The heat set at slow roast
Vegetables on low stewing
For our Sunday dinner
So let’s sing the last hymn
Roast beef is awaiting
We all want to get home
To mom’s Sunday dinner
Roast beef every Sunday
It is mom’s special blessing
There’s either pie or cake
At mom’s Sunday dinner
So pronounce the benediction
Our tummies are a rumbling
We all want to get home
To mom’s roast beef Sunday dinner
~Rev. Dr. Chuck Robertson

Celebrando a las Madres
Lasagna y ensalada de pollo
Agua fresca y pastel
Dejemonos de tanto rollo
Las madres ya quieren comer
Asi que acabemos con el sermon
Vayan sirviendo la ensalada
Despues a pedir perdon
Ahora a tomar limonada
Destapen ya la champagna
Las madres quieren celebrar
Saquen ya la lasagna
No se nos vaya a quemar
Cantemos la ultima cancion
Que ya quiero tomar agua fria
Cantemos con emocion
A las madres en su dia
Pastor dennos la vendicion
Dennosla sin mas retraso
Y demos con emocion
A la madre un abrazo
~José Haro, inspirado en el poema de Pastor Chuck

Deported Moms With American Children Separated On Mother’s Day
(from the Huffington Post)
As the rest of the nation celebrates the importance of motherhood Sunday, thousands of young Americans will, for the first time, be without their moms on Mother’s Day.
About 22 percent of all undocumented immigrants deported in the first half of 2011 were parents of U.S.-born children. As part of the Obama administration’s record-setting deportation year, between January and June 2011, 46,486 undocumented mothers and fathers received orders to leave the country and were forced to decide what to do with their U.S.-born children. While in some instances, deported parents decide to bring their children with them, parents thinking it was in their child’s best interest, left them with relatives, neighbors, or friends in the United States.
Read the rest here.

We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it in our power to be in heaven with God at this very moment. But being happy with God now means:
Loving as God loves,
Helping as God helps,
Giving as God gives,
Serving as God serves,
Rescuing as God rescues,
Being with God twenty-four hours,
Touching God in God’s distressing disguise.
~Mother Teresa of Calcutta
