Episode Synopsis

When I think about honoring Mom’s on this special day I find it easy to do so. It’s biblical to recognize and honor people. God commands that we honor our mothers and fathers. The passage we just read in proverbs says, “her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her.” Mother’s Day is just one day out the year as a church we choose to publicly recognize Mom’s. And not just Mom’s but women in general too. You will understand more as the message unfolds. We would like you to stand this morning if you are a mom, a grandma, a great grandma, a great great grandma. Even if you are not a biological mother but maybe you have adopted a child as your own, or you are a woman who is a babysitter or a childcare provider, a children’s ministry worker. The bottom line is you are a woman who loves, nurtures and and cares for people. Would you stand and let us recognize you today. I know Mother’s Day can be difficult for some today. Your mom is not with you and the pain hurts. For others you didn’t have a great relationship with your mom and this day brings up bad memories. For some, you have lost a child and the celebration of this day is a painful reminder of that loss. Or you are a woman here today that wants children desperately but you are unable to have them. All those feelings are real but they shouldn’t stop us from recognizing the heart of God when He created woman and how in mothers we get a glimpse of God.
