Every one of us has been borne by a mother. Did you catch that "e" at the end of born? The word borne means to be carried by, supported, nurtured. Things that mothers do for us. Synonyms are also endured, braved and tolerated ... also true of what mothers do for us sometimes!
'Mother' defined is "To watch over, nourish, and protect maternally." That's it exactly. We understand that Mothers come in many shapes and forms - all willingly and selflessly helping those around them. So if you "watch over, nourish, and protect maternally", consider yourself a mother, or one who mothers!
This Sunday we celebrate all those who "mother" as we hear the voices of some of the Nashville Road moms share their authentic joys, struggles and blessings from God on their mothering journey!
