  To All The Mothers and Mother Figures - Happy Mother's Day!

  During this time in May, we want to stop and acknowledge our mothers - those  mothers who are still blessed to be here with us, those mothers who have transitioned but whose powerful legacy still lives on, and to those who may not have biological children but serve as mother-like figures - we thank God for the role of faith-filled, godly mothers who have served and still serve as nurturers, givers of wisdom and as strong prayer warriors within our lives.  What a blessed role to serve as a mother.  May God bless all our mothers today and everyday.  Happy Mother's Day!!
