On Mother's Day 2013 (May 12)
This year's celebration of Mother's Day was again a fabulous one. With all the text messages, greetings on FB and photo collages I received, my heart was indeed overwhelmed. I can only say THANK YOU to all my family and friends who have expressed their warm wishes and greetings to me yesterday!
Every year we celebrate Mother's Day, but how many of us really know the HISTORY of this special occasion? Well, for the info of everyone....
History of Mother's Day: Anna Jarvis
Anna Jarvis is recognized as the Founder of Mothers Day in US. Though Anna Jarvis never married and never had kids, she is also known as the Mother of Mothers Day, an apt title for the lady who worked hard to bestow honor on all mothers.
Anna Jarvis got the inspiration of celebrating Mothers' Day from her own mother Mrs. Anna Marie Reeves Jarvis in her childhood. An activist and social worker, Mrs Jarvis used to express her desire that someday someone must honor all mothers, living and dead, and pay tribute to the contributions made by them.
A loving daughter, Anna never forgot her mother's word and when her mother died in 1905, she resolved to fulfill her mother's desire of having a mother's day. Growing negligent attitude of adult Americans towards their mothers and a desire to honor her mother soared her ambitions.
To begin with Anna, send Carnations in the church service in Grafton, West Virginia to honor her mother. Carnations were her mothers favorite flower and Anna felt that they symbolised a mothers pure love. Later Anna along with her supporters wrote letters to people in positions of power lobbying for the official declaration of Mothers Day holiday. The hard work paid off. By 1911, Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state in the Union and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
Yesterday was a Happy Day for me as a mom because of the love expressed to me by my family and friends. Here are some of the greetings I will always cherish...

From: Sis Grace Velasco...
Grown don’t mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown. In my heart it don’t mean a thing.

Ma'am Mel: Happy Mom's Day! May Mama Mary inspire and bestow you all that you need to be her hand and heart for your children. God's blessing too.
After our special day as moms, our journey will go on as mothers to our children...I know we will continue to give life to them, continue to care and love them because they are the most important reason why we live. We are blessed indeed because our Lord has given us the gift of our children and for this I know that we will forever be grateful because of the miracle of life that He has given through us.
It is therefore my prayer for us moms, for God to give us strength, wisdom, love, care and understanding in order to be the best mom to our children.
To be a mother is definitely not an easy job, but I know with the GRACE of GOD we will all be able to do our best for the LOVE of our children.
To all the MOMS,
God Bless Us All!
