“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

Philippians 2:4 (NKJV)

As we approach Mother’s Day, it’s worth pausing to recognize the strength behind a mother’s sacrifices. Much of what mothers do is quiet, consistent, and costly. They give time, energy, sleep, resources, and emotional strength—often without applause.

Their sacrifices reflect the heart of Christ, who calls us to look beyond ourselves and serve others with love. When we honor mothers, we honor the spirit of self‑giving love that God Himself models.

Today is a good day to notice the sacrifices someone made for you. Acknowledge them. Appreciate them. Let gratitude rise as you recognize the strength it took.

Closing Prayer:

God, thank You for the strength You give to mothers and to all who sacrifice for others. Help us see their efforts clearly and honor them well as Mother’s Day approaches. In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!
