Ephesian 6:2-3
"Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise: That is may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
Mother's Day is this Sunday and I pray that you will all give special honor to your mothers.
For all the things you've been to me,
My guardian and my guide;
For truths you have so gently taught
And all the tears you've dried.
For faith and understanding
When I faltered on my way,
I owe you more thanks, Mother,
Than words can ever say.
So on this day that's set aside
Especially for you,
I send a wish for happiness
In everything you do.
May each hour bring you pleasure
Every day of every year --
For all the things you've been to me,
I love you, Mother dear.

On this day of sacred memories, our Father, we thank you for our mothers who gave us life, who surrounded us early and late with love and care, whose prayers on our behalf still cling around the throne of grace, a haunting perfume of love's petitions.
Help us, their children, to be more worthy of their love. We know that no sentimentality on this one day, no material gifts -- no flowers or boxes of candy -- can atone for our neglect during the rest of the year. So in the days ahead, may our love speak to the hearts who know love best -- by kindness, by compassion, by simple courtesy
and daily thoughtfulness.
Bless her whose name we whisper before you, and keep her in your perfect peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
---- Peter Marshall
TO all the mothers...Happy Mother's Day
