Hebrews 10:24-25 [24] And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, [25] not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. 

Yesterday I heard someone say on the radio, “don't forget to call your mother on Sunday”. Tears developed in my eyes because my mother is no longer here to take my call. She's been gone 5 years now and I still wish I could pick up the phone and share something with her, but that's not humanly possible. Maybe you have lost your mother and you wonder how you can celebrate Mother's Day without her. 

May I suggest you let today's verse give you something to focus on instead of your loss. There are many mothers around you, of all ages and varying situations that could use some encouragement to continue in their responsibilities as a mother. Let's be honest, a mother's duty is no easy task. From the moment of a child's conception til mother draws her last breath, her children are always her primary concern. The weight of her responsibility can be emotionally draining and the love and concern you show others will encourage them to sustain motherhood. 

Everyone's life is different. Just within my circle I have 3 beautiful daughters who are mothers, a devoted wife, a one of a kind sister, and a stepmother who has been an anchor for our family in the wake of losing mom. They all need encouragement, and I'm sure you can find someone or multiple mothers who need just a word of love and encouragement this Sunday. Your mother would be happy to know you are sharing the love she gave you with other moms. God bless.
