God provided the Israelites with water from a rock and bread from heaven.
God provides for us in so many ways including mothers.
A humorous but serious Mother's Day video from What's in the Bible?

At this time of the year there are many articles that come up online about Mother's Day.
Between your own thoughts and the many different ideas from the world, it can be a very confusing, depressing time.

Here are some of the article titles
- An open letter to pastors (a non-mom speaks about Mother's Day)
- To those waiting or mourning on Mother's Day
- How to celebrate when your mother's gone

There is one entitled Dear Mom who secretly dreads Mother's Day that is filled with Christ-centered thinking. (and it is written by a mom)
Here are some quotes from the article.
Here are some quotes from the article.
- Momma, you are a work in progress; He is not through with you yet.
- Friend, YOUR Momma is a work in progress; He is not through with her yet.
- Dear one, your children and your husband are a work in progress; He is not through with them yet.
- So take heart, friend. This day is ultimately not about you, or your mothering, or the mothers in your life. It's about the story Jesus is choosing to write through the picture of motherhood in and around your life. And that's worth celebrating...and He certainly isn't through with you yet. (emphasis mine)
This Mother's Day and every day, celebrate the life God has given you through your mother. Psalm 139:13
This Mother's Day and every day, celebrate the NEW life God has given you through His Son Jesus Christ. John 3:16 & 2 Corinthians 5:17
This Mother's Day and every day, let's celebrate the God who provides.

I have read the articles referred to in this post and several other articles.
It is my prayer that as a pastor I can help those I lead realize the greatest privilege in the world is being a child of the King.
When there is a group of individuals who have so many different backgrounds, so many different stories, the best thing I can do is point them to the One in whom they can find rest (woman who is a weary mom)
peace (woman who is longing to be a mom)
hope (woman who has lost a child through miscarriage or death)
comfort (woman who longs for a spouse)
everything they truly need in this life and the next (everyone)
