"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."
- Rick Warren
Saturday, May 8, 2010
Many people don't know that the Saturday before Mother's day is Birthmother's day.
The below is from my friend Marilyn's Facebook page (she and her husband have adopted their kids):
tomorrow is Mother's Day, but some of us are keenly aware that today is "Birthmother's Day". As most of you know, words are rarely in short supply for me, but today I find myself lacking the words to express the gratitude I feel for 3 amazing women. Without their selfless acts of love towards their sons, the world wouldn't have David, Jack or Zane and where would I be without my 3 men?!?! Thank you M, R and ?...God bless those women who, though in dire straits, chose to give their babies life and to put them up for adoption.
Happy Birthmother's Day!
