This will be the first Mother's Day that I and my brothers and sisters will not have our precious mother with us. As most of you already know, mom went to be with the Lord on April 3rd. She has now experienced what the rest of us who know the Lord can only anticipate. Although she is no longer with us physically, she will always be in our hearts.
It may be that you no longer have your mother with you. Now I can identify with you as never before. I understand how you feel as we approach Mother's Day.
If your mother is still alive, rejoice in that fact and stand with her in the days ahead. Remember what she has meant to your life. By all means, honor her for all the sacrifices she has made in your behalf.
As we always do, our church will honor all the mothers who are presently in our church on Mother's Day.
For some reason, our attendance has taken a nosedive over the last few Sundays. If you have been missing worship on Sundays mornings, take a positive step and join the rest of us as we worship the Lord together.
God bless you,
Your Pastor
