Yesterday, I had the chance to visit with my mum for a wee while.

Mum is in her 90th year and looking well.

Today is Mother’s Day in the UK.

I am so grateful for my mum.

I love her dearly and we feel blessed to have had a lifetime of love and laughter together.

The gift of a mothers love is a priceless treasure.

Her gentle words, quiet strength, and unwavering faith have shaped who I am.

Reflecting upon my time with my mum, I feel immense gratitude for her enduring example and many quiet sacrifices.

In Proverbs 31:28 we read, “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”

Mum’s love can sometimes go unnoticed, yet I know it forms the very foundation of our family lives.

On this special day, may we all take a moment to reflect on our mothers.

“God bless you, mothers. When all the victories and defeats of men’s efforts are tallied, when the dust of life’s battles finally settles, it is the mother’s love that will be remembered. It is the memory of your arms, your prayers, and your constancy that will live on.” – Gordon B. Hinckley.

Let’s cherish our mothers, each one of them, not just today, but every day – with love, words, and time.

How can you honour and show appreciation for your mother and the mother figures in your life today?
