I stopped in my tracks when I saw a flyer that read, “I’m Looking for My Mom.” I had often seen notices about parents looking for their missing children, but this—an adult searching for their mom—felt unfamiliar.
The flyer included a childhood photo of the person alongside a recent one, along with details about the location where she was first found as a child.
“If you remember me or know anything about my mom, I’m earnestly waiting to hear from you.”
Reading that final line, I found myself stunned for a moment. How lonely must her birthdays have been—how desolate her passing days. I could only imagine how often she must have wandered the streets where she was found, desperately hoping to uncover even the faintest trace of her mom.
In that moment, I thought of our heavenly family members who must still be somewhere in this world, earnestly searching for Heavenly Mother. I sincerely hope that the gospel I share today will become a message of hope and joy for someone still longing to find Her.
