What would it look like if the church were to re-capture the essence of the early Mother’s Day movements?
What would it look like for us to celebrate the imprint of Christ and not Caesar?
This weekend I celebrate my own mother, Laurie’s mother and so many other mothers who have carried the imprint of Christ on their lives — and thus left that impression upon me (and others) as well.
Happy Mother’s Day!
May we all learn to live lives full of love, grace and compassion like only a mother can give.
