During my blogging time here on Fox, I've had the pleasure of meeting and talking to some amazing moms.  I don't have to personally meet them to know they must be excellent mothers, raising wonderful kids.

To all you lovely mothers, I wish you the loviest and happiest mother's day!  God bless you wonderful people whom He placed in this world to carry the weight on your shoulders.  The world revolves around you and without you, it just wouldn't work.

God bless!

A short note on the History of Mothers Day, and Happy Mothers Day to all you Mothers out there!

Mother's Day celebration reaches 100th anniversary
2008-05-10 15:31:08
By APRIL VITELLO Associated Press Writer



GRAFTON, W.Va. (AP) — On this 100th anniversary of Mother's Day, the woman credited with creating one of the world's most celebrated holidays probably wouldn't be pleased with all the flowers, candy or gifts.

Anna Jarvis would want us to give mothers a white carnation — she felt it signified the purity of a mother's love.

Jarvis, who never married and never had children, got the Mother's Day idea after her mother said it would be nice if someone created a memorial to mothers.

Three years after her mother died in 1905, she organized the first official mother's day service at a church where her mother had spent more than 20 years teaching Sunday school.

Today, the former Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church is the official shrine to mothers around the world. On Sunday, the shrine will celebrate the 100th anniversary, giving each mother attending a special service a white carnation.

The shrine also serves as a "reminder to the accomplishments of these women and to the issues mothers still deal with today, trying to do the balancing act of being everything to everyone," said Cindi Mason, the shrine's director.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 83 million mothers in the United States. More mothers now work out of the home and the number of single-mother households has tripled to more than 10 million since 1970.

captain,

The story got cut off, but what I read of it was very interesting. I never knew how Mother's Day originated.

Moms,

I hope you all had a fantastic day today. Smiley, with the things I've read from you on these blogs, I have no doubt you are already a wonderful mom.

June,
So nice of you to wish the moms on the board well on Mother's Day. I am lucky to have the mom I do and to have the great sons I was blessed with. It was a great day thanks to them and my husband. Hope it was the same for everybody.
