Belonging to Christ

Happy Mother’s Day I invite you today to remember that today is more than Mother’s day, it is the Lords day. Our identity is in Christ, not in the fruit of our womb or lack of it. So many women today are struggling with their emotions because of infertility, miscarriage, and infant loss, but this day makes them keenly aware of their emotions all because of a Hallmark holiday. As women, we belong to Christ, some of us are called to be Mother’s and some are not. And for some, our deepest desire is to have children, but we must remember that our identity is not based on that. Even some churches are practicing this today by honoring mothers with flowers or some other silly tradition. Not only are mothers singled out today, it singles out those who are not mothers. So today, remember the promises of God, remember the hope of your salvation, and remember the true purpose of gathering to worship God this Sunday. As I celebrate today, not only Mother’s Day but today is my birthday, I enjoy knowing I’ve got a family waiting for me in heaven, and that today isn’t about me holding my children in my arms. .. .. .. .. .. #mothersday #infantloss #miscarriage #infertility #childlessmother #inchrist #lordsday #sunday
