What to Write in a Mother's Day Card

Mother’s Day is a time to pause and honor the incredible women who have shaped our lives with their love and selflessness. It’s a time to share love, gratitude, and appreciation for the unwavering love that we’ve received over the years! Gifts and bouquets of flowers will be purchased, and after-church lunches will be planned, but we believe that the greatest gift you can give this Mother’s Day is honoring your mother with heartfelt words from your heart in the form of a card. Whether you’re celebrating and honoring your mom, wife, grandmother, godmother, stepmom, mother-in-law, sister, aunt, mentor, friend and fellow mom, or any woman who has loved you like a mother, after all the years she has poured into you, it’s time to tell her how deeply she has impacted your life!
