Mother's Day 2015

Today I am not going to be preaching about mothers. In June for Father's Day I won't be preaching about fathers. I feel like there are too many people who have to grin and bear these days for so many different reasons.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day_%28United_States%29

The first attempts to establish a "Mother's Day" in the United States came from women's peace groups. A common early activity was the meeting of groups of mothers whose sons had fought or died on opposite sides of the American Civil War.

It reminds me of this song

1000 Grandmothers

 This kind of celebration I can get behind. Maybe next year!
