Happy Mother's Day

A blessed and happy day to mothers and to all who care for children. Mothering is not just for mothers, and mothering doesn't end when children reach adulthood but rather, it is a job for a lifetime.
Almighty God, heavenly Father, you have blessed us with the joy and care of children: Give us calm strength and patient wisdom as we bring them up, that we may teach them to love whatever is just and true and good, following the example of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

PS: Let us pray for those who are missing mothers who have passed on.

  1. Your posts often display the wisdom that only mother chemicals can catalyze. Today's no exception.

    I pray that today, and everyday, the mother love you lavish on us all returns to you a thousand fold! Happy, Happy Mother' Day, Mimi.
