Parents are a gift from God. Your mother might not be there but God has given you someone (grandmother, aunty, teacher, mother in church, sister, etc.) who plays the role of a mother in your life God does not want to feel hurt but to appreciate the one he gave you.

God expect us to have right attitude and actions towards parents. Parents are not perfect. we must love them because you too are not perfect.

Happy mother's day and may God bless you!
