Happy Mother's Day

Today is Mother’s Day. Many families will be taking their mums out either for lunch or dinner. Hotels, restaurants and cafes have advertised their special menus for Mother’s Day long before today.

Mother’s Day, celebrated on the second Sunday in May in many parts of the world happens to be on a Sunday this year, so our Agape Methodist Church lined up a program to celebrate during our worship service.

The Sunday School children recited a poem and sang songs in honour of their mums. The youths rendered a special song to all mothers. The Methodist ladies, all dressed in red tops sang a lovely song too and they have arranged for a Mother’s Day dinner this evening. Pastor’s sermon was aptly geared towards children and parents. Children should obey their parents who should be role models as written in the Holy Bible.

“Children” in his proclamation, did not only refer to the young but also to the adults who still have living parents. He reminded the congregation that everyday should be regarded as Mother’s Day and not this one particular day in May which comes round only once a year. We should show love, care and concern for our parents all year round and if they no longer live with us, we should make the effort to contact them at least once a week. This is a timely reminder that parents will not be with us forever and we do not know what will happen tomorrow, so what can be done today should not be put off to another day.

My grandson made me a lovely card and his words touched my heart.

My grandaughter made these lovely flowers.



Here is a message received from a mother to share with all mothers.

A mom is God’s love in action
She looks with her heart and feels with her eyes
A mom is the bank where her children deposit all their worries & hurt
A mom is the cement that keeps her family together and her love lasts a
lifetime.


Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers.
