Honoring the Strength, Love, and Faith of Mothers This Mother's Day

“Her children arise and call her blessed.” — Proverbs 31:28

Grace and peace to you on this blessed Mother’s Day. Today we pause to honor the women whose love has shaped our lives in ways words can barely express. Whether by birth, by adoption, by mentorship, or by the quiet strength of example, mothers and mother-figures reflect the heart of God in a unique and powerful way.

A mother’s love teaches us patience. Her prayers cover us in seasons we never speak of. Her sacrifices—seen and unseen—remind us of Christlike service. Her wisdom guides us, her courage steadies us, and her faith inspires us to keep pressing forward.

For some, this day is filled with joy and celebration. For others, it carries memories, longing, or even grief. Yet in every circumstance, God meets us with comfort, reminding us that His love surrounds us and His presence sustains us.

“Her children arise and call her blessed.” — Proverbs 31:28

To every mother, grandmother, godmother, aunt, guardian, and spiritual mother in our church family: we thank God for you. Your labor is not in vain. Your love is a ministry. Your presence is a gift. May the Lord strengthen you, refresh you, and continue to shine through you in all you do.

May this day be filled with gratitude, peace, and the assurance that you are deeply appreciated and profoundly loved.

In Christian Love,

Brother Clyde Franklin
