We often think of Mother's Day as a happy day, but that is not always the case. For some of you, today is a difficult day because your mother is no longer with you. Some of you have not been blessed with children and you feel emptiness because you have always wanted a child to whom you could give yourself. Some of you had a poor relationship with your mother, always fighting or arguing, today you are carrying a burden of guilt. Others of you struggled with rebellious children who rejected your teaching, today you feel as if you have failed. The good news today is that the Bible offers hope for each of us in imperfect families.

God also speaks to using His word about our eternal family. Until that day comes, we need to do everything we can to make our families the best they can be to the glory of God.
