thank you, Tony. Just texted the dad of one of the girls in my SS class who quietly told me some time ago “Pray for me. my mom died.” This reminded me i should ask him how he wants us to handle Mother’s Day.
Thanks for helping us all remember!!

Thank you for giving this advice. This is my first year as a Sunday school teacher and we now have two little girls who just started to attend they have never heard about Jesus before and they have just recently been estranged from their mother. Here I was planning a great “mothers day” lesson for the kids when God brought these two little girls to my mind. I immediately started to look for help and advice in this area. needless to say I found this site and I wanted to thank you for posting this and will gladly use this advice.

Thank you Holly. We have a few girls at our church who are estranged from their mothers, but they have godly grandmothers raising them. I will keep your advice to heart.

Tony,
Did you develop what was written above? Even if you didn’t, thank you for posting. It is dead on! I was one of those children who lost her mom. She died when I was 12. I have to say the hardest part was Mother’s day and all the church did to celebrate Mom’s. It was painful but I was old enough to understand the church couldn’t ignore Mom’s. But in the process I felt ignored. No one acknowledged my mom and I. She was still a part of me and my life. People acted liked her death didn’t happen. So my encouragement to the church would be do NOT forget those children that have suffered a loss of a mother on Mother’s Day. Please do not ignore the fact that a child is motherless or fatherless. They need to know the loving care of our Heavenly Father and they need to experience that through His people. Surround them with extra attention and love. Maybe even have a young mother “adopt” them as theirs for a time. I know I spent most of my life “looking” for a mom. Mom’s are what God intended them to be, a nurturing, loving, caring influence. An important influence. I think we can help fill that gap as the hands and feet of Jesus. Thank you again!

THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS ATICLE. IT HAS BRODEN MY MIND ON HOW TO APROACH THE SUBJECTOF MOTHER’S DAY. IT HAS REMINDED ME OF THE DAY I WAS TEACHING ON OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN WHO CAN DO GREATER THINGS THAN OUR PHISICAL/BIOLOGICAL FATHERS. ONE CHILD SAID TO ME THAT “IF THAT FATHER WILL DO BIGGER THINGS THAN THE ONE HE KNOWS OF, THEN IT SEAMS THAT FATHER IS MORE BAD THAN HIS”. THIS WAS BECAUSE HIS FATHER IS A DRUNCKERD AND WHEN HE COMES BACK HOME, THE HOUSE IS IN FIRE. GOD BLESS YOU MORE AND MORE.
