On Mothers Day, God knows

I really am going for the gold star this year, as I sent my Mum these little roses in an envelope, made out of wools left over from her rug.

It's true that every person in this world has had a mother, whatever she may or may not have been. And we do well to prepare our hearts to honour that and also to accept the life that God has given us. Still, I'm glad I go to a church that doesn't make an entire service about Mothers Day.

(Whether or not you include an apostrophe in the title of this day seems to depend on whether you think it's a day about mothers, or a day that belongs to mothers, so I've left it off.)

It's also true that there aren't so many blog posts out there with much to say, or even a passing reference, to single women who would like to be mothers and aren't, but Noel Piper has us covered. God knows.
