Galatians 6:2
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ
Everyone has a mother! So, everyone should want to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Women should be happy on Mother’s Day!
Mother’s need to be honored by standing up in church and being identified!
We need to give gifts to all the Mother’s at church on Sunday!
If everyone should be excited on Mother’s day what do you tell the woman in the back who is grieving because she can’t conceive? Or the lady who just lost her child, or miscarried.
What about the poor woman racked with guilt because of an abortion many years ago.
What about the step mom who is struggling to find her place in the family or the foster mom who loves each child while still trying to help them get back to their “real” mom.
Then there is that lady whose children who have cut her out of their lives.
I would never want to leave out all those people whose mother’s have passed, leaving a hole in their heart.
I and many of my friends have or are in one of these phases of life. We all have issues with the “Happiness of Mother’s Day!” When we get to church, we cringe at the thought of those Pastors who ask all mothers to stand or come to the front to receive a gift.
Now, I know churches mean well. They probably have never even thought about the plight of some women in the their congregations.
What I would like to tell them is to celebrate all women today. Mother’s come in all shapes and sizes.
You may not have ever had children in your life, but I can almost guarantee you have mothered someone. I can also almost guarantee that there has been some lady in your life who has mothered you. God created women very specifically. We were not an after thought. We were made to be help mates. We were created with this need to reach out to others around us. We were created to “mother” people if you will.
We were created to be like Christ!
