Mother/Daughter Tea Party

On Tuesday night the Women’s Ministry (Women of Purpose) of my church, Cathedral of Praise, hosted a Mother/Daughter Tea Party. I must say it was a GREAT night! Hats Off to Marci Coffelt, she did an OUTSTANDING job putting this night together. Speaking of hats…we had a hat contest. There were some beautiful hats and of course some silly hats.

Ms. Jackie Harris, a member of our church, spoke. She shared about being a Godly Mother. Ms. Jackie stressed that any female can give birth but not all females can be a MOTHER! By definition, Mother – is a woman of authority. The Word from God for that hour to us was…Push On! You are not pressing on in vain. We must do away with SELF and let God fulfill His purpose in us. She ended with the story of Rizpah. Ms. Jackie did a FANTASTIC job ministering to us all!

Our theme was “The Many Hats of a Mother”. The decorations were beautiful. Ms. Linda Todd, a member of our church, did an OUTSTANDING job of creating an elegant evening. Each lady did a MARVELOUS job decorating their table. The “Tea Party” favors were so cute. One of the most touching parts of the evening was the Memory Table. People brought a picture of mothers or daughters that have already passed. The photos were beautifully displayed and a candle was lit in honor and memory of that person. This was very beautiful and touching. We also had a Mother/Daughter skit by Kathy Byrd and Jennifer Mayo, also members of our church, it was hilarious! The daughter was hidden, her hands, were the actual hands applying the Mother’s make-up.

I was so blessed to have my MOM join me for this Mother/Daughter Tea Party. This was another Mother/Daughter bonding moment! Precious Memories! Love you Mom! Again, Happy Mother’s Day!
