Ukhrul, May 14 2023:
Different church-es in Ukhrul town widely celebrated Mother's Day on Sunday, with many of the churches distributing gifts to mothers in honour of motherhood.
On Sunday morning, major churches includ-ing Ukhrul Town Baptist Church, Union Baptist Church, Viewland Baptist Church, Phungyo Baptist Church and others conduct-ed worship services to com-memorate the day.
Smaller congregation such as Khai-varen Baptist Fellowship and Ringui Fellowship Ukhrul also held worship services and offered special prayers for mothers.
During the services, household items and clothes were distributed to all mothers as a token of love.
Delivering a message, KBF chairman Z Aimson stated that while motherhood is common among millions of women across the globe, true or virtuous mothers are few.
"For the worth of a good mother is far more than that of rubies," he said, while urging all mothers to be the kind of mothers that God wants them to be.
Quoting the Bible, he said: "Strength and honour are her clothing; She shall re-joice in time to come".
Aimson said that accord-ing to the Bible, the chat; of a woman is deceitful and her beauty is passing, but a womanwho fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
"Such women are ones who open her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
She watches over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness," he stated.
He then urged all worn-en and mothers to teach her children so that they grow up and call her blessed; and honour her husband so he praises her.
As part of the celebration, the churches also served re-freshments to the congre-gations at their respective places.
