Here’s
a recognition of our indebtedness to the mothers and mothering figures in our lives. It was written by Rev. Dr. Libby
Grammer, Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church in Martinsville, VA.
A Prayer of Gratitude
for a Physically-Distant Mother's Day
For all the mothers who are
still with us,
and for those who have gone to
be with Jesus,
we give thanks today.
For all those who mothered us,
some in addition to our own mothers,
some in place of absent
mothers,
we recognize you, and give
thanks for you.
For all women who have been
figures of grace and love in our lives,
your example has been
meaningful to us.
During this time of physical
distance,
we wish we could be nearer to
our mothers (and our children to us!).
We pray that this day brings
phone calls and cards,
love and light, your way,
mothers and mothering women.
We love you!
