From Seks link -
This Mother's Day date was declared by US President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914 when he signed a Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. This US tradition of celebrating Mothers Day and As I said, it is a US Celebration, not a Christian one! |

Happy Mother's Day! I took my wife and her mom out to lunch.
---------------------------------------- I found this to be interesting from gb's Wiki link: "By the third decade of the twentieth century, the custom of keeping Mothering Sunday had tended to lapse in Europe. It was revived through the influence of American and Canadian soldiers serving abroad during World War II, who celebrated Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May. People from Ireland and the UK started celebrating Mother's Day again, but on the same day Mothering Sunday had been celebrated before it fell into disuse, the fourth Sunday in Lent." In the northern hemisphere anyway, it's a bit nicer outside on the second Sunday of May than the middle of March. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by USAFA 82 at May 9, 2010 11:34:02 PM] |

True - although along with the traditional Simnel cake we usually have one of the very first flowers in spring (daffodils) to give as well. A simple, yet very colourful way of letting our mothers know how much we love them  |

A Mother's Love
----------------------------------------- Helen Steiner Rice A Mother's love is something that no on can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . . It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking . . . It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems . . . It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . . A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand. |

......So don't spoil it.  ......I didn't spoil it, it was some other person who attacked mine and gb's post. I was only pointing out that we had our mothers day weeks ago, but he had to poke his nose in and start an argument. Just what we need on Mothers Day, a pi$$ing contest.
In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.
