Mother’s Day Resources
It is a joy on Mother’s Day to honor the high and holy calling of motherhood! If you are a birth mom, a stepmom, an adoptive or foster mom, grandmother or spiritual mother, you have a vital calling and ministry within the body of Christ. We celebrate you today with hearts full of gratitude for your love and sacrifices poured out in the mountains and valleys of motherhood, by His grace and in His strength!
