Mother’s Day Seed: What Are You Planting?

Charlotte Edwards welcomes viewers to Sunday Seed on Mother’s Day and reflects on the strong women who shaped her—her grandmother, mother, godmother, and aunts—who taught by example through attributes like love, faith, grit, courage, joy, laughter, and confidence. She shares memories of Southern-style tea parties with mini glass Coca-Cola bottles, Cheez-Its, Hydrox, and soap operas like General Hospital, along with card nights and ordinary moments made sacred. She reframes Proverbs 31:28 as a result of how a woman lives rather than a performance standard, noting that people become something others can lean on. Edwards reminds listeners that someone is watching and learning from them too, and offers the Mother’s Day “seed”: name one woman you’re grateful for and ask what you’re planting and passing down to those close enough to observe.
