(To be read during the service)
Today, we pause in reverence and gratitude to honor one of God’s most precious and profound gifts to the world—mothers.
From the beginning of time, the heart of a mother has reflected the heart of God—nurturing, protective, selfless, and enduring. Whether biological, adoptive, spiritual, or maternal by influence, mothers shape our lives with grace and strength that often go unseen, but never unfelt.
On this special occasion of Mother's Day, we take a moment to pay tribute to the most important woman in our lives – our mothers. A mother's love knows no bounds, and her impact on our lives is immeasurable.
Mothers are the first to comfort us when we are hurt, the first to encourage us when we feel discouraged, and the first to celebrate our successes with us. They are our teachers, our role models, and our confidantes. Their selflessness and sacrifice know no limits.
These past few years have been a challenge for so many people, yet it seems Mothers have risen to the occasion!
(Please note: This tribute may also be used as a letter of invitation to Mother's Day)
Welcome to all Mothers who are either in attendance today or watching this service online.
The past few years have been quite a challenge for every individual on the planet, but especially Moms! (Don't worry, Dads, your day is coming soon).
While there are no classes on how to be a mother during a Global Pandemic, I believe if there ever is one in the future, Moms could write the workbook for it! Let's pray such a class is never needed, though!
While we are on the other side of this pandemic struggle, (seemingly) there are still challenges that parents face, especially if the goal is to raise a child to serve the Lord.
(This tribute may be read any year on Mother's Day, or even shared via snail mail or e-mail)
Here we are on this special day in which we honor our Mothers in the congregation once again, and we would like to take a few moments to share the following tribute of appreciation and recognition.
Our focus will primarily be on some of the aspects of Godly Motherhood.
