“Mother's Day is an annual holiday that recognizes mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well the positive contributions that they make to society. In the United States it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. In its present form, Mother's Day was established by Anna Marie Jarvis, following the death of her mother Ann Jarvis on May 9, 1905, with the help of Philadelphia merchant John Wanamaker. A small service was held on May 12, 1907 in the Andrew's Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia where Anna's mother had been teaching Sunday school. But the first "official" service was on May 10, 1908 in the same church, accompanied by a larger ceremony in the Wanamaker Auditorium in the Wanamaker's store on Philadelphia. She then campaigned to establish Mother's Day first as a U.S. national holiday and then later as an international holiday.”
This is a very special and beautiful day of celebration and makes us look out that God has ways to recognize the labor that we as mothers and women do in day to day basis. Jesus gave us a great example of love for the women and for his mother. When Jesus was in the cross he made sure his mother was taken care of by releasing her to the care of John. So in honor of those great mothers that are grand warriors and are by our sides and love us no matter what to you our love and celebration! To all you kids that have made our lives more exiting we celebrate you because without kids there are no moms!!
