Mother's Day Purpose  #347

This message is dedicated to two of the finest Christian mothers ever, Gene Elizabeth McCullough-Burkey and Marie S. Slaton-Johnson

Here are daughter Anna’s exact words defining the purpose of Mother’s Day (you need to read the preceding message #346-link if you have not):
 
"...To revive the dormant filial love and gratitude we owe to those who gave us birth. To be a home tie for the absent. To obliterate family estrangement. To create a bond of brotherhood through the wearing of a floral badge. To make us better children by getting us closer to the hearts of our good mothers. To brighten the lives of good mothers. To have them know we appreciate them, though we do not show it as often as we ought…”
 
“This day is intended that we may make new resolutions for a more active thought to our dear mothers. By words, gifts, acts of affection, and in every way possible, give her pleasure, and make her heart glad every day, and constantly keep in memory Mother's Day; when you made this resolution, lest you forget and neglect your dear mother, if absent from home write her often, tell her of a few of her noble good qualities and how you love her."
 
Now you know the first Mother's Day on the third anniversary of her death-of-body honored the old mother who had already devoted the last fifty years of her life to establishing a day which would honor all mothers. Now you know the first Anna started the day for all mothers in 1855. Now you know Anna was a strong CHRISTian who thought about others more than about herself. Sounds like Jesus. I know where Anna is. I can hardly wait to go again.
