Sunday was Mother's Day. A day that is devoted to expressing appreciation to mom and spending time with our family.
I used a quote in my message yesterday that talks about the importance of family. Nancy Pelosi is the first female speaker of the United States House of Representatives. She is also the mother of five children. While I don't agree with all of her politics, I do like her emphasis on the importance of family.
Last week in the May 10th edition of USA Today Pelosi said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom. Not being a member of Congress, not being speaker of the House. I wish I could do it all over again, but my children won't give me my grandchildren."
Family is important. Mother's Day reminds us of the importance of family. But, don't wait for another holiday to be reminded of the importance of family. Every day, let your family know how special they are to you.

- I am a Baptist pastor. I love the Lord and have a desire to honor Him although I am certainly not perfect. I love my family. Outside of the Lord, my wife is my best friend. She is strong where I'm weak. I love sports. I am a history buff. I love to read. I enjoy western movies. I also enjoy reading motivational books. I have a passion for meeting people where they are in their life pilgrimage and tell them about the love of Jesus.
