Celebration of Motherhood - Mother’s Day
To those who gave birth this year to their first child - we celebrate with you.
To those who lost a child this year – we mourn with you.
To those who are in the trenches with little ones every day and wear the badge of food stains –
we appreciate you.
To those who experienced loss this year through miscarriage, failed adoptions, or running
away - we mourn with you.
To those who walk the hard path of infertility, fraught with pokes, prods, tears, and
disappointment – we walk with you.
To those who are foster moms, mentor moms, and spiritual moms – we need you.
To those who have warm and close relationships with your children – we celebrate with you.
To those who have disappointment, heartache, and distance with your children – we sit with
you.
To those who lost their mothers this year – we grieve with you.
To those who experienced abuse at the hands of your own mother – we acknowledge your
experience.
To those who lived through driving tests, medical tests, and the overall testing of motherhood – we are better for having you in our midst.
And to those who are pregnant with new life, both expected and surprising – we anticipate with you.
This Mother’s Day, we walk with you. Mothering is not for the faint of heart and we have real
warriors in our midst. We remember you.
