Birds, Birth, and Beauty | Knowing and Loving God Through Motherhood | Mother's Day 2022

We as mothers get to revel in the limitless love of God even as we recognize our own limitations when we strive and often fail at loving our children like we want to. Because we understand the mothering love of God in salvation, we mommas, like the three Marys at the tomb, get to tell the good news of God’s love for us, equipped with empathy and understanding from our own day-to-day lives as mothers. We as mothers can describe the salvation offered in Christ in ways that only mothers can. Momma, on this Mother’s Day, God is calling us to live in the new life that God has labored toward since the earth’s beginnings. God is inviting us to live our days in such a way that we both recognize and live out the tireless, unending, fierce love of God in the day to day of diapers and dishes. God is calling us to bear the image of God right within our mothering, in both the pain and the joy. Happy Mother’s Day! Read the full essay here. We are so thankful you found us here!

She’s lived in Africa and Asia but is really just a country mouse with a Minneapolis zip code. She strongly believes in the restorative power of Jesus and a home-cooked meal, or even just a really good cheese, and writes mostly about how the image of God is uniquely understood and displayed in motherhood.
