Mothers Day Thanks

In 1914, Congress passed legislation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
The first Mother’s Day ceremonial was a church service in 1908 organized by Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, to honor her deceased mother. Anna, had heard her mother express hope that a day to honor all mothers would be established – so she took action.

History shows that in the British Isles and Celtic Europe there was a festival called the “Spring Mother’s Day” which celebrated the honor of the Goddess Brigid. However, these festivals are totally different from the present Mother’s Day in that they celebrated the concept of motherhood rather than giving honor and respect to mothers.

Mother’s Day is a celebration of womanhood, when we celebrate not only the involvement that a mother makes within her family by nurturing her children but also the contribution she makes to the society at large. Because of our mother we are perfectly grown-up. A mother takes us under her protection right from the moment we are conceived. She feeds us, cleans us and teaches us to walk, talk and play.

We always thank our friends, co-workers or anyone who helps us. What about our mother? When shall we thank her for bringing us up, for the sleepless nights she experienced because of us, and for giving birth to us?

A mother deserves much more than a single Mother’s Day.

She should be sent thanks everyday.

No thank you can ever repay a mother’s debt, but at least we will make her happy by remembering her on Mother’s Day.

The best gift you can give your mother on this Mother’s Day is the feeling that you thought of her and made an effort to make her feel really special.

Thank you Mom XoXoXo
