Did you know that the woman who got Mother's Day started later regretted it? As I recall, she felt it became too commercialized. It's not surprising. Businesses will find a way to make money. It doesn't take away from the importance of thanking the good and loving mothers in our lives. Some we can only remember, others we can contact in more concrete ways. For some, a good mother was lacking in their lives and we can only hope that they met someone along the way who gave them the kind of love a mother would.
The bible occasionally uses images of mothering to describe God, such as a mother hen nestling her chicks and a mother eagle teaching her nestlings how to fly. God is the loving reality that everyone can reach for and experience. May you know and feel God's love this day and every day.
Blessings.
