Happy Mother’s Day
The second Sunday in May is my favorite day of the year.
Not for the gifts, or the special deals moms can find around town. Not for the flowers or for that nice dinner out. But because it’s a day set aside to cherish our own moms and our children. It’s the one day a year many of us can celebrate having a mother and being one at the same time.
Like many of you, I am completely in love with being a mom. It has brought the greatest joys imaginable and every day I wake up and know how truly blessed I am to have my little boy there. It’s the kind of love that is truly unconditional and unwavering. The kind of love that lets you know you’d do anything for your children. And it’s the kind that I celebrate in my own way every day, not just on Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day makes me stop and think about how much my own mom has always loved and sacrificed for me. Although if you ask her, she wouldn’t call them sacrifices, but just “the things that moms do.”
So give your kids the biggest hug, not just this Sunday, but every day. Cherish those little gifts they’ll give you that they made with their own two hands. Call or visit your own mom. Tell her how much you love and appreciate her. Let her know how much you’ve learned from her. And enjoy your special day.

At age 102 on May 4, my Mother, Leora Henderson, has celebrated more Mother’s Day than anyone in her church. At the 100th Celebration of Olivet Baptist Church she was commended for being the oldest member of the church. On her birthday she was given a commendation signed by the Governor, the Representative of her district, her cousin, who is the Representative of District 57 of Weatherford, OK. She was driving until about three years ago. She is now still active in her church and very independent. She has kept a positive attitude and eats three balanced meals a day, most of which she fixes for herself.She has two daughters, Joan Woolley who is with the Baptist Disaster Relief as a head cook and chaplain, and Eyrline Morgan who is the organist at Olivet. She has one sister, Jean Sims of Apache, OK.
Thanks, I’ve been seeking for info about this subject for ages and yours is the best I’ve located so far.
This is fantastic and just what I need help with! The big day is 9/18/10 at a ranch in colorado. Already have BM dresse that are gray with a hint of purple and am having trouble going from there. I love the soft, subtle, muted colors, but feel like I need a punch of something to spice things up a bit. Please help!
best communication trick is based on the basic human quality described here.I guess, it will not work without
