Moms are superheroes. My mother showed me how to: be an active part of your child’s life; hold down a career while moving up the ladder of success; be a real person of faith (one whose walk matched her talk); obtain a degree as a working adult; have a vision for your life and work your vision; we a wife; start your own business and operate it on your own terms; change careers; change churches (while keeping your integrity and friendships intact); care for your aging parents and retire while you’re young enough and healthy enough to enjoy it.
As I celebrate my queen and you celebrate (or remember) yours, I encourage you to also celebrate, and model, her faith. Mothers hear the declaration to kill their sons and build a shelter to protect and preserve their lives (Exodus 2:3). Mothers hear angelic pronouncements about the future (Luke 1:28 – 38). Mothers love when hope doesn’t seem to be an option (John 19:25-27) and mothers won’t stop until their children get what they need to thrive (Matt. 15:22- 29). Today my sister-queens is for the Mom’s and everyone whose put on the pumps as a mom. Although every day we recognize your work, on this particular day we celebrate you just a little more and say thank you for everything including the gift of faith. Blessings, Rev. Antoinette
