Mothering Sunday

It is Mothering Sunday today and is the fourth Sunday in Lenten season. - Laetare Sunday.'.

   There is a long tradition behind mothering Sunday.  There was a practise of those youngsters working away from home, especially girls were allowed to come home for that day. There is a linked custom of visiting mother church or cathedral along with this tradition in England.

  I ponder my motherhood- call to be a mother. Enjoyed more since away from job and became a full time mother.  Learnt so many amazing things, experienced ,trained. Lord has used me in so many different ways for my children and others. I reflect on those days , I could help many  other children too in different ministries, teens, preteens, youth and to the extend of child care to some parents at their struggles.

Today we invited and  distributed some daffodils in church, also got chance to meet some of the neighbouring mom's in our
Chorlton.  It was a blessed day to be with family and friends.

Below picture is from Thodupuzha our home town, with all different generations of mothers from great grand mother and younger mother. Thank God for all the mothers.They are precious. Mary our Mother pray for all moms going through tough times in their lives at the moment.
