I wish you the happiest of Mother’s Days . . . 

I pray your Mother’s Day day holds more blessings than hours, and more happiness than your heart can contain.

My voice is raised in prayer for each and every woman who has added the beauty of life to this world for even a moment.

I pray for every mother who will spend this day watching her children at play, reflecting on the days that have passed, thankful for every moment. For those waiting anxiously by the phone to hear the sweet voice of the one they once cradled, wishing they were again close enough to hold.

I pray for every mother who celebrates this day in silent prayer, remembering what once was or what could have been. For those who use this day to honor the one who brought them into this world, and for those who are now feeling the fluttering of new life within their own womb.

I pray for every mother – The expectant moms, the new moms, the not-so-new moms, the single moms, the married moms, the working moms, the stay-at-home moms, the biological moms, the step-moms, the surrogate moms, the adoptive moms, the moms chasing after little ones all day, the empty-nester moms, the moms who hold their babies in their hearts instead of their arms . . .

Today is just another day, we still rise and do what we always do, but it’s special because it’s called Mother’s Day.
