May every mother remember that "Mother's Day" was not ordained of God, however respect for her was! Do not feel badly if you do not receive something on Mother's day, for many it is only a meaningless gesture to relieve the guilt of children who have not demonstrated the honor they should have the rest of the year.
If there has been honor and respect every other day of the year, then there is no need of a card.
All the holidays were added by the greeting card companies to sell cards. There is no such holiday mentioned in the Bible as "Mother's Day". I would rather my children treat me with honor and respect all year long, than for them to treat me disrespectfully most of the time and send me a card once a year.
It is not surprising to understand this when God hates our man made holidays, when people pretend these holidays are about Him but ignore Him every other day of the year. Mothers and Fathers can understand how God must have felt when He rejected the holidays that pretended to be about Him, but in reality were all about their own pleasure and revelry.
Amos 5:21-23
"21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols."
Please Mothers and Fathers, do not allow the holidays to dictate your emotions, they are not a measure of God's Love or even our children's love.
Christ died on the cross, He bled out for our sake and yet there is little mention of it by those He died for.
Believers celebrate this incredible sacrifice on our behalf in the Lord's Supper today, we remember Him, what He did and His resurrection as the fulfillment of His promise. This is the celebration the Lord commanded us to observe every time we come together in our gatherings. Hallelujah!!!!
