How Mothers Matter
Mothers do more than feed, care, console and teach their children. Mothers are women of influence (1 Sam. 1).
Mothers’ Day: Mothers We Have Known — More or Less John 15:9-17
"Mother" is not a name. It is a divine function!
Mother’s Day: Lordship and Motherhood (Deut. 32:11-12; Matt. 23:37)
Mother's Day. The day when women who aren't mothers but wish they were feel the burden a bit more; the day when guilty husbands serve breakfast in bed and make a bigger mess than it's worth; the day when mothers reflect again on the whole business and decide it's worth it after all.
Mother’s Day: Grandmother, Mother and Son
One day four ministers stood talking and, as so often happens, the conversation soon drifted to shop talk. "I prefer the King James Version of Scripture," said one, "for its eloquent use of the English language." A second minister gave forth that no Bible could match the New American Standard for its faithfulness to the original Greek and Hebrew text.

A white carnation in her memory if she was dead, a red carnation to celebrate her presence if she was living. I'm sort of sorry that custom has gone out of style.
