Mother’s Day, as we know it, began in the United States of America.On May 9, 1914, by an act of Congress, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.President Wilson established the day as a time for “public expression of our love and reverence for mothers of our country.”A lot has changed since that firstMother’s Day when President Wilson asked for carnations to be passed out to every mother.

You see it’s not a flower or even a card we are looking for, it is the love and appreciation for a labor of love well done.No matter how you celebrated Mother’s Day, as the mother or the child, maybe your mother has passed on and this day is full of memories.Thank God for your mother, and pray for Him to strengthen and keep her.
Mother’s are the glue that often holds families together.Hours of work which is only noticed when not completed, a kiss for a bruised knee, and a hand to hold when life is tough.Hat’s off to all mother’s today.What a wonderful calling . . . The call to be a mother.
God bless all the wonderful ladies and mothers here at New Life!You are a real credit to our church.
