A dear sister in Christ wrote this thoughtful response to the post, Mother’s Day. Let’s remember in prayer tomorrow all in the body of Christ, especially those who are estranged from or are without a mother to celebrate:

There are also “barren” children who wish for that mother who is always talked about on Mothers Day. You know, that “mom” who is perfect and has given unconditional love and is always there for them; who took them to church, who put on bandaids, who saw all of their piano recitals or basketball games, and on and on…

I was fortunate and blessed to have a loving mother, even though at times I felt like the unloved child. My mom was not perfect and still is not, and neither am I. As an adult, I have become very attached to her, especially since my dad has passed. However, I know some adult children who had a mother but not a “mom” and still wish for one to this day. 

Many children feel “barren” of that real mom. Just something to think about and remember this Mother’s Day…
