A Mother's Influence: Reflections from Pacific Point Church
Worship in Gratitude
We began with powerful songs that declared our freedom and thankfulness: “I Thank God,” “Only by the Blood,” and “Great is Your Faithfulness.” These reminded us of God's faithfulness through all seasons.
Reflections on Girls in the Garden
Many women shared how the recent event inspired them and stirred deep gratitude. Every detail, from the décor to the message, became a form of worship and connection.
Honoring Every Woman
Pastor John acknowledged the complexity of Mother’s Day, honoring:
Those who’ve given birth
Those raising and mentoring children
Those grieving loss or waiting with hope
Spiritual moms who have loved beyond biology
Ten Traits of a Godly Mother
Prayerful – Modeled after Mark 1:35, prayer is the bedrock of a mother’s influence.
Word-Filled – Reading the Bible for yourself and with your children fuels wisdom and peace.
Diligent in Daily Tasks – Moms live in rhythms of daily sacrifice with great grace.
Faithful in Hard Times – Showing kids how to trust God when life is tough.
Respectful of Dad – Modeling Ephesians 5:33 with love and admiration.
Joyful in Service – Serving with a smile, even when it’s exhausting.
A Mom to All – Looking out for others like Philippians 2:4 instructs.
Making All Things Beautiful – Turning even the mess into something meaningful.
Listening Well – Creating space for others to feel heard and loved.
Peace in the Storm – Being a calming presence in chaos, just like Jesus.
A Final Encouragement
You may not feel seen, but God sees it all: the whispered prayers, late-night talks, daily car rides, and unseen sacrifices. Your influence echoes into eternity.
“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” — Proverbs 31:28
Let today remind every woman: you are blessed, you are seen, and you are shaping the future with the love of Christ.
