Of course it is. Motherhood is pretty fundamental to life, you know.

There is no way one woman can do it all without help and this help often comes from the older siblings, especially the daughters. Been there, done that!

Any church or minister which teaches that is hateful and very anti-woman. <br /><br />Do some churches actually hold services specially for Mother's Day? Really? <br /><br />Talk about misunderstanding what the day is suppose to be. It is not a day when you laud women for just having children as if her only value is in the number of children she has had. <br /><br />It is a day set aside to remind us to connect with our mothers. It is not a day to celebrate motherhood.

Although I am a mother of one, I too am very uncomfortable with Churches celebrating Mother's Day. Not that I don't think mothers deserve to be honored (I absolutely do), but where does that leave mothers who have lost one child (or more, or their only). Where does that leave mothers who've suffered miscarriages? For that matter, where does that leave mothers who are estranged from their children (another form of loss)? I think the intentions are good, but there needs to be some balance in the Church. Lauding one, while rubbing salt in the wounds of another, is not what Jesus would do. Love considers the other person and what impact it will have on them. I wish the Church would stop following the culture. My mother, myself, and a friend have all suffered miscarriages and your skipping service on Mother's Day is perfectly understandable-please know there are many others who understand how you feel and do the same. You are abslutely right on this too-God does not punish our sins by "taking" our children (a very twisted misrepresentation from King David's sin). David's case was very specific-he personally caused the death of Bathsheba's husband to cover his sin (she was pregnant with David's child and her husband had been off to war so he couldn't possibly be the father). Under the Old Testament law, if you murdered someone, the punishment was life for life. Because Bathsheba's husband's descendants were cut off by his murder, David would lose his firstborn and those descendants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-52209763391239020482017-05-15T21:42:34.674-05:002017-05-15T21:42:34.674-05:00Judgemental much???

I do not believe for one second God would punish anyone for any sin, especially in such a callous way. Some people have a very twisted idea of God and faith. Your church community should be closing around you, offering you and your family love, comfort and support not placing non existant guilt at your door, I hope you found a new church. You sound like a very loving person and your children are lucky to have such a loving and compassionate person to guide them and be there for them through life.

What is the protocol on Mothers Day at Church when all the Mothers received flowers and stand for applause? Do I, too, receive a flower? Do I stand for applause? Did I not deserve to raise my "blessing" as much as every other Mother? Was I still allowed in the "mommy club"? Not really. In fact I was told I was being punished for some hidden sin. Truly. Thankfully I know my Heavenly Father loves me, and didn't listen ( after lots of weeping) to them. The Lord has since allowed me to raise 2 beautiful children. I am eternally greatful. But...I don't like Mother's Day. My children love me, and I them, everyday. And Mothers Day is still one of the few Church serves a miss in the year.
