Remember, Mother’s Day is a commercial, not a Christian, holiday.

It is a time to honor the good mom(s) in your life, but not a time to worship all moms.
Broad statements about “celebrating mothers everywhere” ignore a devastating and unnatural reality: All mothers are not good.

In fact, some are abusive, narcissistic, and manipulative. And often this is exasperated by an inability to repent.
With being said, post and publish about the good moms you have the privilege loving and being loved by.

But don’t talk about “all mothers” since you don’t know “all mothers.”

Why?

Imagine watching everyone celebrate publicly someone who abuses you privately.
And if your relationship with your parent is difficult, even to the point where they feel like an enemy, Scripture calls you to love your enemy. Pray for them.

Also care for yourself. This may require distance, especially if there is no repentance. But don’t stop praying.
