Honoring Mothers
5/3/2013 1:41:37 PM
Being a "Mom" is one of the greatest responsibilities a woman can have.
It's May, and for me, the most important thing that occurs this month is Mother's Day,the second Sunday,May 12th.
This is the day that mothers in the USA are acknowledged, and honored for all of the wonderful things they do daily, three hundred and sixth-five days of the year.Granted,moms cannot be paid for their tireless efforts,and I don't believe most would accept pay if it were offered,but I believe it would put smiles on the faces of moms if their children,siblings,and friends would let them know how much they are appreciated on the other three hundred and sixty-four days of the year, as well as on Mother's Day.
Being a mom is one of the greatest responsibilities a woman can have, and it is not always easy to do all of the things that are needed.Whether you are an experienced mom or a mom for the first time,I think it is safe to say that your job never ends.
I am not a mother,but my sisters and many other women I know are, and they are constantly giving to their children because that's what moms do.
This Mother's Day,decide to continue the kind acts "beyond" May 12th.Determine to do something special for your mom weekly,or monthly to let her know how much you really love and appreciate her for all of the things she has done and continues to do for you.
Make every day a celebration of your love and appreciation for her, and when Mother's Day occurs next year,see if you don't see a major difference in your Mom's behavior.
To mothers everywhere, I want to say happy Mother's Day! Thank you for all of the wonderful things you do for your children and others as well.
What To DO Next?
* Think of something unique to do for your mom this Mother's Day:
* Decide to acknowledge and honor your mom weekly or monthly in some way;
* See if you can persuade others to do the same for their moms;
* Grow and shine.
