Church Mother's Day Service

in Trouble TTC
I really didn't want to go to church this morning. We had the standard all mothers stand and applause, of course I got teared up and so did my husband. Then our pastor had them sit and started talking about the struggle that some couples go through. We were both kind of shocked. Then he had all of the TTC couples stand and asked the whole congregation to pray with us. After the service a couple a little older than us came up to us and told us their story. It was a very good surprise to what I thought was going to be a gloomy day.

    Thats awesome. I would've been too scared to stand up... it seems so brave to make it public. Still so good to hear such a touching tribute to people going through this journey.

    WOW!! This brought a tear to my eye!! I absolutely love our church, but I just couldn't go this morning!! My husband is on the praise and worship team, and thankfully this wasn't his week to play. We slept in, drank coffee on the patio, and did our own devotional! I'm so glad other people, especially churches are starting to become more aware of IF!

    The church service I went to had the same thing today! They did not ask people to stand up (thank God) but I was so glad the minister acknowledged that struggle. She even said a Happy Mother's Day to moms who WANT to be moms!
