Full-time Mother’s don't get weekends off, sick time or vacation days and they work 24/7, 365 days a week. However, Mother’s do get bonuses and one such bonus is a day in their ‘honor’, Mother's Day. This special day may be celebrated on different days of the year, in different countries, but in all countries it has one thing in common... And that is to honor Mother’s or the memory of a Mother.
One the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your own Mother the day off. Let her take it easy and relax while the rest of the family does the work. Maybe you could begin the day with breakfast in bed. (Yummy… sounds pretty good to me!) You and Dad
could let your her sleep in late while the two of you slip into the kitchen and prepare her favorite meal. A Mother's Day breakfast can consist of anything she likes. (Even if it’s just toast with PB and coffee or waffles with fruit and juice!!!) Place the food nicely on a tray… (don't forget a vase with a single flower.) Then, carry the tray up to her bedroom… cards and small presents can also be placed on the tray, as well. Another good idea to make the day even more special is to cook up a nice meal at home later in the day or take her out to her favorite Restaurant. Mother's Day is a great day to let that 'special lady' at your house relax and see what a wonderful family she has been blessed with. Dallas Holm, a long time singer/songwriter (of such songs as “Rise Again“ and “Jesus Got Ahold of My Life”), has been called everything from a Christian Music Pioneer to a Legend and an Icon. For Mother's Day 2008, Dallas shared this, one of his biggest fans is his Mother. Dallas said, "Mom was and remains one of my biggest fans... She and Dad bought my brother and I our first guitars and encouraged us on our musical journey. She is a wise and funny woman who continues to be a source of inspiration and guidance to me." When asked how he has managed to still be a husband and a dad while being on the road for so many years, Dallas replied, "In the years I have toured and throughout all of my ministry, I’ve always had a priority system that put God first, family second and ministry third.”
A Prayer for Mother's Day:"Dear Jesus, We thank You for adopting us into your family through the miracle of Your grace, and for calling us to be brothers and sisters to each other. Today, loving God, we pray for our mothers: who cared for us when we were helpless, who comforted us when we were hurt, whose love and care we often take for granted. Today we also pray for those who are grieving the loss of their mother, those who never knew their biological mother and may even now yearn for her, those who have experienced the wonder of an adopted mother's love and the many families separated by war or conflict. Lord, give them each a special blessing from You, today. Keep us united with You and with each other, so that we can be and become all that we are meant to be. Amen."
