Afterwards, a number of ladies thanked me and said how moving and touching the message was. Two men, however, Church leaders, were furious. They said things like, “It’s mother’s day, if you want to have another day for all those other women, then do it, but don’t talk about them on mother’s day.” I was kind of shocked. I will be leaving this congregation soon but I sure hope they are more sensitive to people in the future, like the woman’s email I got telling me she hated coming to Church on mother’s day because it killed her to see all these ladies being honored as mothers when she was barren and all she wanted to be was a mother.

Anyway, I agree w/your other post wholeheartedly and I share your view but some people have blinders on and they will never see this perspective I’m afraid. Too sad for the Christian Churches, just another thing they’ve got going against them.
