Good Shepherd UMC

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate all who mother—the ones who gave us life, the ones who raised us, the ones who stepped in, showed up, and loved deeply.

We honor every kind of mothering: joyful, complicated, sacrificial, quiet, and strong. A mother’s love isn’t defined by gender—it’s defined by care, compassion, and presence. Whether you are a mom, a dad, a grandparent, a mentor, a caregiver, or someone who nurtures others with a mother’s heart—today, we give thanks for you.

We also hold space for those for whom this day carries grief, longing, or mixed emotions. You are seen, loved, and not alone.

“Her children rise up and call her blessed…” (Proverbs 31:28)

May you feel God’s love surrounding you today and always. Happy Mother’s Day 💐
