My mother is my mother forever why is there a specific day to honor her? She does what she does year round and will be who she is even after death. Shouldn't she be honored sporadically as the moment of gratitude arouses or nostalgia ignites reflection and memories?
I can choose to invade her coffee table with floral arrangements of fragrance and beauty. Arrange for an entertainer to serenade her during her lunch break in the financial district of San Francisco. Have a catered brunch delivered on her off day or a spa treatment at her favorite mall. Private and intimate affections not monopolized by a society that changes situations like baby diapers, or redefines circumstances by propaganda or profiling.
With finances being the global topic and fame and fortune a publicized commodity, why eject extra pressure toward my already struggling demeanor?
Stressed meeting personal budgets why interfere with not necessity but public display of following the leader to the accepted behavior rather than offering relief by downsizing consumer spending to increasing employment opportunities.

In search of the origin of Mother's day ignited by a post on the network program facebook there was mention of a woman as the founder of Mother's day. It made me laugh as I read on cause I thought to myself that's a lie be Eve is the author of Mother's Day having been the first Recorded Human Birth in History(Genesis 03:20-5:32).
I've had numerous experiences of mother's gone bad and Mother's Gone Home(1 Kings 16:31 & 18:04). A mother gone bad is an individual that was Given The Opportunity To Populate The Earth(Genesis 01:22 & 2. Corinthians 09:10-15) and Replenish cultures and Worship(Proverbs 31:1-31), but denied THE SPIRIT OF GOD To HAVE HIS WAY(Revelatians 13:6) chosing to kill the dreams & destroy the life of a New Creation to fulfill it's own desires(John 10:01-02 & Isaiah 07:16) and experiences(Deuteronomy 30:19 & Hebrews 09:27 John 10:4-30).
A Mother Gone Home is an Individual who has executed Proverbs 22:06 who dedicated Herself to THE WILL OF GOD & Transformed Her Mind by The Renewing of Her Heart(Romans 12:2, Ephesians 04:24, & Colossians 03:10). Raised Her Children to Honor & Respect THE LORD & to Treat Others as they themselves Wish to be treated before she left this Earth(1 Corinthians 13:04-13).
Here's what wikipedia has to say about Mother's day: The origins of Mother's Day are attributed to different people. Many believe that two women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis were important in establishing the tradition of Mother's Day in the United States. Other sources say that Juliet Calhoun Blakely initiated Mother’s Day in Albion, Michigan, in the late 1800s. Her sons paid tribute to her each year and urged others to honor their mothers.
Around 1870, Julia Ward Howe called for Mother's Day to be celebrated each year to encourage pacifism and disarmament amongst women. It continued to be held in Boston for about ten years under her sponsorship, but died out after that.
In 1907, Anna Jarvis held a private Mother's Day celebration in memory of her mother, Ann Jarvis, in Grafton, West Virginia. Ann Jarvis had organized "Mother's Day Work Clubs" to improve health and cleanliness in the area where she lived. Anna Jarvis launched a quest for Mother's Day to be more widely recognized. Her campaign was later financially supported by John Wanamaker, a clothing merchant from Philadelphia.
In 1908, she was instrumental in arranging a service in the Andrew's Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which was attended by 407 children and their mothers. The church has now become the International Mother's Day Shrine. It is a tribute to all mothers and has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.
Mother's Day has become a day that focuses on generally recognizing mothers' and mother figures' roles. Mother's Day has also become an increasingly important event for businesses in recent years. This is particularly true of restaurants and businesses manufacturing and selling cards and gift items. Okay, extreme brainwashing and plagerism. Wow what a celebration...
