A Special Blessing to all the “Mothers” who clothe our neighbors.

May this Mother’s Day be gentle.

May we honor the women who raised us, nurtured us, protected us, challenged us, and loved us — in all the ways mothers exist beyond biology alone.

We give thanks for mothers living and remembered,
for grandmothers, stepmothers, chosen mothers, mentors, aunties, caregivers, and all who have mothered the world with tenderness and courage.

We hold close those whose mothers are no longer here.
May memory become a blessing.
May grief be met with compassion.
May love remain stronger than absence.

We honor those who longed to be mothers but could not become parents in the ways they hoped.
May their worth never be measured by fertility or family structure.
May they know their lives still carry sacred creativity, deep nurture, and immeasurable love.

We remember those estranged from mothers,
those carrying wounds where comfort should have been,
those navigating complicated relationships,
and those for whom this day arrives with ache instead of celebration.

May no one feel invisible today.

May we build a world where care is holy,
where tenderness is strength,
where community holds one another through joy and sorrow alike.

And may every person who has offered love, shelter, wisdom, encouragement, or hope
know that they, too, have helped mother the world.

Most of the time CwC Kindness comes in the form of New clothing.
Today it came in the form of ~
New clothing.
A backpack.
Snacks.
Hygiene supplies.
A bus ticket to Forrest City.
An uber ride to the bus station. (special Thanks to Jeff Pryor for thinking of this option and covering the cost)
A Walmart GC.
A little cash for dinner.
And a phone call to inform and comfort a wife waiting at home.

Everyone is worthy of Hope, Joy, Confidence, & Peace of Mind.
