Your children love and appreciate you – often much more than their ability to ever fully express to you! The good Lord watches over all the effort and care you put into the lives of your children, and hears your prayers for them. Motherhood is a lifelong blessing, a lot of work in the early years, but a source of delight and purpose. This Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to be sure to thank your mom, tell her you love her, and show her your care. Like many of you, in my life, Mother’s Day also is a time for special memories of mom, and gratitude for her example, support, and strength. ‘She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.’ Proverbs 31:26 (NKJV) God bless all the moms as we celebrate Mother’s Day, and honor you. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. Proverbs 31:31 (NIV). Happy Mother’s Day!” Congresswoman Amata honors her Grandmother Amataupulevasegaotupu Aumua of Pago Pago, Fagasa and Vatia Villages on this upcoming Mother’s Day, Sunday May 10.
