Ciara Jackie and Future Zahir

Happy Mother’s Day to you wonderful, beautiful moms who always put your children first! Your children are blessed to have such caring, loving moms who unconditionally devote yourselves to your children!

All children are gifts from God. They are placed in your care for you to love them, nurture them, and guide them on the right paths in life.

Your child honors you by growing up to be a successful, productive, law-abiding member of society who loves his wife and raises his children with the same loving care and respect that you showed him.

To those of you who still beat your children under the guise of corporal punishment, I hope the Lord speaks to your hearts on this day and helps you to see that you are perpetuating a cycle of abuse that will ultimately takes its toll on society one day.

Single mother Ciara released this video honoring Mother’s Day. She is mom to her only son, Future Zahir Hendrix. Ciara, 29, also honored her mom, Jackie, by naming her latest album after her. Unfortunately the album flopped, but it’s always the thought that counts!
