Happy Mother's Day! We recognize that Mother’s Day always carries a lot with it. For some, it’s flowers from little hands, crowded lunch tables, phone calls, hugs, and happy chaos. We see you and cheer you on! For others, it’s missing someone deeply, navigating strained relationships, carrying the ache of wanting children, or simply feeling the weight of a season that looks different than they hoped it would. We see you and are praying for you. This time of year, we pause to celebrate and remember the women who have shaped us with love, prayers, meals, rides, patience, encouragement, truth, sacrifice, laughter, and presence over the years. Moms, grandmas, aunts, spiritual moms, mentors, sisters, friends, teachers, and women who are so faithful to love the people around them. We hold gratitude and tenderness together, knowing each person carries different stories and experiences. Let's pray for each other in all of our different places. In doing this, we will be "thinking like Jesus" ;) See you Sunday, ~ Amy & Your Friends Church Staff Team **Coming up:** **Graduate Sunday** - May 17. Have a senior to celebrate?
