Thought for the Week

The world has turned many times since 1907. That was the year Ann Jarvis asked her Philadelphia church to hold services in memory of all mothers on the anniversary of her mother’s death. It was time before the marvels of electricity and indoor plumbing. Mothers had a life of hard physical work. Today, more than 100 years later, the role of mothers is somewhat different. Because they have fewer children and more help from home appliances, many have chosen to take jobs outside their homes. Even so, the modern world has them working as many or more hours than their grandmothers. To our own mothers, we say “Thank You!” and truly mean it. Without them, our lives would be difficult indeed. Their skills and their dedication are appreciated. On Mother’s Day we pray for peace in the world so all mothers may rear their children in peaceful times. We remember mothers who lost loved ones in this highway of life. We ask for strength for young single mothers. We honor mothers who are no longer with us, and ask God’s blessings for mothers who are experiencing tough times in life (physically, emotionally and spiritually). We pray for future mothers that they may have high character and fortitude in this changing world. Now if you are among the fortunate whose mother is still alive, the greatest gift that I believe you can give her this Mother’s Day is a hug and say these simple, but precious words – Mother, I Love You
