Building Healthy Families: Parents, grandparents and pew buddies! Did you know that even from the womb a child comes to know his or her mother’s voice, nurturing their bond, providing comfort, and building trust? As we celebrate Mother’s Day today, we also mark Good Shepherd Sunday on the church calendar. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, says “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). Thank you, Lord for the gift of mothers who reflect the comfort, security, and love of our Good Shepherd, Jesus and for the incredible gift of hearing his voice in our churches and homes! Happy Mother’s Day! Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
