As we approach Mother’s Day, we are reminded of the beautiful role mothers play in the spiritual and physical upbringing of their children. A godly wife and mother is an irreplaceable gift that is one of society’s best natural resources in creating healthy citizens and healthy communities.
In WFA President Christine File’s own life, she can remember her mother making continual sacrifices for her and her sister, choosing to be a stay-at-home mom even though it meant giving up a career she enjoyed. Christine can recall the numerous times her mom drove her and her sister to volleyball practice, basketball practice, and all their extracurricular activities. She regularly cooked homemade meals, hosted a Bible study at their house once a week, which her father taught at, joined them on field trips, and continually poured into their young lives. “I am incredibly grateful for my mother and would not be who I am without her and her compassionate, disciplined, and giving influence,” Christine said.
Mothers play an irreplaceable role in their children’s lives – their nurturing, comforting touch cannot be replicated. At a time when our culture may tell us otherwise, we know mothers and fathers working in harmony in a healthy, committed marriage are the foundation of a family. Mothers and fathers play very different, but equally essential roles in raising children. That’s why over the next two weeks we will be focused on honoring mothers, and leading up to Father’s Day we will be honoring fathers as well.
This Mother’s Day, our generous friends have offered us a $20,000 flash match campaign to help honor the mothers, and mother figures, in your life.
We invite you to join us in giving “Double Honor” to your mother in the lead up to Mother’s Day. Thanks to the generosity of WFA friends who value motherhood and the unique work of WFA and WFC, we have a matching grant for up to $20,000.
CLICK HERE to invest in the future of Wisconsin’s families today and DOUBLE your giving – up to $20,000!
Every dollar you invest will be doubled and will go to keeping WFA and WFC on the front lines in strengthening, preserving and promoting God’s plan for marriage and family – in the government and in the culture.
This year, we’re excited to offer the opportunity to leave a memory or thankful thought in the donation field as you give in honor of your mother, your wife who cares for your children, or a special mother figure in your life. These thoughts will be shared on social media with only a first name.
Please consider taking advantage of the flash match and giving “Double Honor” to your mother today!
