Happy Sunday and Happy Mother’s Day (if you’re celebrating Mother’s Day today in your part of the world). In Australia our Mother’s Day lines up with the US date, but our Father’s Day is in September. I hope you’ll enjoy a wonderful day of celebration filled with joy and peace with your family and loved ones. For some of us Mother’s Day can be a challenging day, especially if we’re dealing with grief or separation from loved ones. Hugs and prayers if you’re struggling today. I draw comfort from the words in Romans 15:13 – May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (NIV)
