"'For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me'" (Mt 25).

How parents feel this morning and too many mornings when we send our kids to school. Or church. Or the grocery store.

We must stop this from being the morning routine in any community, anywhere.

#MothersDay facts: Some women have no desire to have children. That’s totally okay and they shouldn’t be made to feel less somehow. Some women desperately wanted children but couldn’t or didn’t. Some women gave birth and placed their children for adoption. Be kind to all today.
