Mothers' Day is a beautiful time to remember and celebrate the woman who have given birth, nurtured their children, and left a profound legacy of Christlikeness. You might not preach a whole sermon about motherhood, but at some point in the service pastors need to lift up and honor motherhood.
And yet, this day isn't always that simple. It's a day of joy, but for some it's also a day of pain. It's a day of celebration, but for some it's also a day of longing and grief. Some women and their husbands are yearning to have their first child. Some women had bad mothers. Some good moms are grieving a wayward child. Some women need encouragement in their role as a spiritual mother to people in your church and community.
But my prayer today is that everyone who is going through any situation that brings about sadness or bad memories on this special day, My God in his infinite mercies, the God who created the heavens and earth in just Six days, the God who has said we should ask and we would receive, the ocean divider, the rock of ages, would turn every sadness in their lives to Joy, Happiness and give them everlasting peace. Believe in the God who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than what we ask or even think of. Happy mothers day and God bless all Women.
