Hello, everyone.
Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. Yesterday was Sunday, woke up quite early but with the feeling of not wanting to go to church so instead of making preparations I picked up my phone and was doing some stuff online then I remembered I was not in school anymore and deciding not to go to church means I will have to prepare for my Mom who will make it her anthem for the rest of the day. I rushed to join them for morning devotion and started preparation for church immediately after the devotion as it was supposed to be.

At around 9:30am, I was ready for service and we all headed out. I got to church and received a shocking news, It was mothering Sunday and no one told me. I got nothing for my mom, as I was not informed but I owe her that. The service had already commenced before our arrival, yesterday is a Sunday dedicated to women and mothers around the globe so every activity in the church was handled by women, the sermon, choir and even the work of ushers and they handled it very well.
Mothering Sundays are always special, it is on this day that mothers around the world are appreciated for all of their sacrifices. It is impossible to pay them back for all of their sacrifices but all we can do is show appreciation on days like this, let them know how special they are. One of my favorite artist said "nothing connects the world the way a loving mother does". Mothers are special, they deserve all the love they can get and even more.
The church service was fun, the mothers acted different playlets portraying the role of a mother in the house and lessons were learnt. The service ended at around 12pm, after service the women stood by the door and gave out zobo (Hibiscus sabdariffa tea) to those who wish to collect some. on our way home we stopped by a nearby market; dad said since it's mother's day let's get few drinks to celebrate with while we waited in the car him and mom stepped down to go buy the drinks, the sun wasn't taking it easy on us in the car while we waited. They took some time and finally they joined us and we zoomed off.
Got home at around 1pm and met a friend at at our doorstep, it's funny how he sat and was waiting like I told him I was on my way back, since my sister's did not cook before we left the house there was no need staying at home. I changed up and we left for his own house, we got to their house and food was ready to be served and I realized I made the best choice because I was already really hungry. They served us rice, it tasted really good.

At his place we played mini militia for sometime before we left for the fieid at 4pm to watch a football match between to nearby villages, the match ended 2:1. Normally we try to make Sundays less stressful as we prepare our minds for Monday and the the new week.
How fathers and children celebrated their wives and mothers yesterday made it obvious that we all see their good works and acknowledge their sacrifices, gifts were presented to mothers a lot of it.
