There is a song that says, “It’s a man’s world”…but any man with any sense would know…if not for the influence of women in our lives and in our world…we wouldn’t be the men we are. It is true that women have been the shapers of destiny in our world and this well-known quote sums it up perfectly:

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

Women have shaped the influence and life of the church.

We also want to honor those who face a great degree of pain in the face of this weekend’s celebrations. Some of you, both male and female, are grieving the loss of your mom’s and this weekend brings all those emotions back. There are couples here today living through a very real battle with infertility and Mother’s day and Father’s days seem to complicate those emotions...there are still others who have lost a child. It would be superficial for us to go on celebrating today and not acknowledge the courage it took for you to be at Northplace this weekend.

We honor you.
