(Pictured are some of the treasured "moms" in my life.) Mother's Day in America began with the efforts of Miss Anna Jarvis of Pennsylvania when she conceived the idea of setting apart the second Sunday in May as a special day in which members of her Sunday School class could honor their mothers.
In 1914, Congress recommended that the president designate a day as Mother's Day. President Wilson stated, "On the second Sunday in May, the stars and stripes would be displayed publicly and in homes as a tribute to mothers."
There is no love on earth, except the love of Jesus Christ for the human race, that equals the love of a mother for her child. Someone once said, "The hand that rocks the cradle has the power to change the world."
Therefore mom(s), I love you and please enjoy your day! Happy Mother's Day!
