Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 9, 2010

Few would argue that one of the noblest callings is that of motherhood.

 
As Mother's Day approaches and your church or Sunday School class makes plans to honor mothers, consider our beautiful 2010 Mother's Day bulletin inserts.
 
Tennessee Right to Life works every day to assist women facing unexpected pregnancies. The faithful support of churches and groups across the state enables us to continue reaching out with tangible assistance to these vulnerable mothers and families. In addition, we work for protective pro-life legislation and community education.
 
Many churches enjoy supporting our efforts by participating in our Change to Save Life: Baby Bottle Benefit. It simply involves church members donating loose change in baby bottles, which we supply.  The fundraiser is easy to administer and fun for the congregation.  And there couldn't be a more vital time than now.  The number of expectant mothers considering pregnancy termination increases during difficult economic times.  They need our help now more than ever.

Help Tennessee Right to Life raise awareness and resources.

Mother’s Day Bulletin Insert (back)

Many of us contemplate the age-old question of how to deter old age.  If we think the answer is in exercise and good nutrition, we may be missing something.  God’s direction for long life and well-being is to “Honor you father and mother as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long and it may be well with you.” (Deut. 5:16)  It is also His guide for our behavior and attitude toward our mothers.

Mothers everywhere share certain traits.  Generations of children have heard, “You are just like your father!” or “I hope someday you have a kid just like you!”  Such dubious compliments seem to be part of a package that comes with a mouth willing to kiss a boo-boo regardless of location, a set of eyes in the back of the head, and a nose that can scent a first cigarette from 100 paces.  Best of all, it includes a heart with a tremendous capacity to love, event at our most unlovable moments.

Of course, no mother is perfect.  Maybe yours called you by your sibling’s or dog’s name or habitually embarrassed you in front of your friends.  Or your mother may have been so dysfunctional you never felt that unconditional love at all.

But whatever her flaws, your mother did one thing right.  It’s possible her voyage was stormy when she learned she had a tiny companion on board, yet she allowed you to stow away in the hold till the proper time for your launching into the world.  We are admonished in Romans 13:7 to give honor to whom it is due.  What better reason to honor our moms than for allowing us the gift of life!

The fifth commandment promises a long and happy life, but it also brings the joy of making our dear mother feel appreciated and loved.  On the Mother’s Day and every day, let us give her the honor she deserves.
