God, Thank You for creating mothers In Your bold and tender image.
Thank You for how mothers have reflected You— Compassionate as a cleft in the rock, Protective as an eagle brooding over her young, Loving as the breath that gives us life.
We have come to believe, as followers of Jesus, one of the worthiest endeavors we can undertake is to take the Great Commandment seriously and learn to be in relationship with our literal neighbors.
