Love God and Love One Another-Sunday Wisdom!

Sunday Wisdom / May 9, 2021

Our gospel today is all about love and what a great day to honor our Mothers. I am very thankful for my mom and am blessed that she is still in my life. A mother’s love is pure and I know this because I too am blessed to be a mom.

I have two beautiful children, a daughter who is teaching first grade in Chicago and a son who just graduated from college with an Electrical Engineering Technology degree. I am very proud (in a good way) of both of them and am grateful to my Lord who has allowed me the privilege of being their mom. Happy Mother’s Day!
