"Mother's Day" was proclaimed in 1870 by Julia Ward Howe (the author of the words to the Battle Hymn of Republic) in the United States, and was officially observed on the national level in 1872. On May 14, 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation that designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
"Mother's Day" is a time mothers are adored in all parts of the world. Throughout the Bible, God gave respect to the mothers. Though there are numerous scriptures, the one that comes to mind is Deuteronomy 5:16... "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you."
On May 8, 2011, we salute all of our mothers....
God Created Mothers (author unknown)
God knew that little ones need love
so He created mothers
With understanding hearts and
gentle hands that care for others...
They feed us and they hug us
and they help us find our things...
Then later on, they step aside
and let us try our wings...
We know they're always on our side
whatever may befall,
That's why we need them just as much
when we're no longer small...
Yes, God created mothers
to give love their whole lives through...
That's why they're treasured very much
especially one like you!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
