Mother's Day

Just a quick prayer request for this weekend… On Saturday the girls and I are having a Mother’s Day Dinner for their mothers. This is an idea that I got back in the fall and it’s exciting to see it actually happening. There are two purposes behind this. The first is obvious: to honour and celebrate these moms for all the work they do and the important role they play in their daughters’ lives. The second is to provide an opportunity for me to continue to build deeper relationships with these moms. Generally, it is hard to get parents in this community to come to social events and be involved in the lives of their kids outside of the home but, much to my amazement, it looks like all the moms are coming. Please pray that the moms would indeed show up, that they would see how much I love not only their girls but how much I care about them as well, and that this would be a stepping stone towards a greater level of involvement in the lives of these girls’ families.
