I just wanted to send a quick note to wish all of the mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day 2021.  Last year Mother's Day was of course a lot different because of the pandemic.  Many of us could not see our moms on Mothers Day because we were trying to protect them by staying away.  This year though should be different.  If you are blessed to still have your mother with you, like I am, I hope you get to spend some time with her.  If your mom has already passed, I hope your Sunday can be filled with warm memories of her and the life lessons she taught you.  I of course want to wish my mother, Mary Frances Aderholt, a Happy Mother's Day.  And also a Happy Mother's Day to the mother of my two children, Caroline.  

This verse from the book of Proverbs says a lot I think about how we should lift our mothers up:  

• Proverbs 31:28–29: "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'"

I hope you have a happy and blessed Mother's Day!
