I sat with a group of adults this week talking about how the week had gone. We’re checking up on each other as part of the depression recovery work we’re doing at the church. As we were leaving, one lady said, “I just have to show you something.”

From out of her purse she pulled a card. “I have a son whose 36. He lives in Santa Rosa. He usually keeps his thoughts pretty close.” With that she opened the card. While the song inside the card played, she beamed.

We all thought if she listened once a day, she’d be cured of her depression. So if you can still do so, share your love with your mother. And don’t just wait for Mother’s Day.

“Sensible children bring joy to their father; foolish children despise their mother.” Proverbs 15:20

Rejoicing in hope,
Pastor Steve
