Celebrating Mother's Day in local churches, like most things in our culture today, has become "controversial". Certainly, we grieve with women who have lost children through a variety of experiences. We grieve for women who, for various reasons, are unable to have children. We recognize that some women birthed children but were not nurturing mothers. However, we grieve those things 364 days out of the year. For all the brokenness we could experience, this is why The Church MUST become Church As Family. For 1 day, let us celebrate the intention of Mother's Day and be unfettered in that celebration. Let us celebrate the gift of life. Let us celebrate the mothers who do live sacrificially and nurture our children and grandchildren. This is a day to celebrate that which is good, not focus on the brokenness of the world. We are a society that now wallows in self-pity and victimization where we cannot celebrate 1 day without feeling guilty about celebrating what is good and right. This needs to be corrected.
