On Sunday morning, our pastor gave a wonderful prayer petition about Mother's Day:

Lord Jesus, we thank you, on this day when we honor mothers, for all the faithful women who have served you by loving and caring for us.  Because you are so good and gracious, we have experienced mothering from many women, and all women have the opportunity to love and nurture children, whether biological or not.  We pray that you would empower all women to use their gifts to teach and form children to serve and worship you.
