Happy Mothers Day!

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making the second Sunday in May a national holiday, and it has been celebrated annually since then. These verses from the Bible beautifully capture the essence of family, wisdom, and the sacred role of motherhood. They emphasize the unbreakable bond between parents and children, the strength and grace of a virtuous woman, and the profound joy that comes with the birth of a child. These timeless words serve as a reminder of the importance of instilling God's teachings in our children and cherishing the precious moments of life.

If your mother has passed, this is a great time to remember the good times or just thank God for having a mother that gave birth to you. If your mother is still around then take the time on Sunday to call her or spend the day with her. God calls us to honor our mothers, no matter the circumstance.
