St Andrew's Methodist Church now holds the International Mother's Day Shrine.<br /><br />Her campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War, and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. <br /><br />Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed that they were "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world".<br /><br />CHECK WIKI FOR MORE INFORMATION.HENRI GANN (TREKKERS LEAD AND POST WRITER)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-62369659124908840032017-05-14T12:03:42.631+08:002017-05-14T12:03:42.631+08:00Thank you, FL. for your timely and inspirational c...Thank you, FL. for your timely and inspirational comment.

John Cher is correct saying those with moms who are with you now, never to hurt them with words or actions, and esp so when they are in their old age. Although my mom is longer around, I still think of her and memories of her keep coming back. I remember one beautiful song "Mother of Mine" with meaningful lyrics first made popular by a young boy of 12 yo called Neil Reid in 1971. May I dedicate this song to all mothers on this Mother Day.FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429286415685838183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-46919229369827880682017-05-14T10:02:51.623+08:002017-05-14T10:02:51.623+08:00Hi Andy

To mother, no mountain is too high, no valley is too deep and no ocean is too wide! The sad reality is that people tend to have very short memories! The mother's affection and unconditional love are soon forgotten!<br />Mother does not need fancy restaurant food. A simple pack of meepok would suffice! A listening ear for her concerns and challenges. A word of encouragement when she fears for her health and eyes that express beyond words that you truly care!.<br />Mothers are human beings! And human beings are imperfect! Perfection is not of this world. Only the angels in heaven are perfect! In their ebb tide and in their twilight years do not hurt them, intentionally or otherwise, with your words or actions! The people who are closest to us are the most capable of inflicting the deepest cuts and hurts! Manifest your love, care and patience more than ever for without notice God may just invite her home!<br />A mother's love is perhaps God's apology for the heartlessness of mankind! A mother is a friend and a teacher with inexhaustible love!<br />Not only today but every day ought to be Mother's Day!<br />God bless all mothers!JOHN CHER (WRITER/ PERCUSSIONIST)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-16389813756025498552017-05-13T13:41:50.136+08:002017-05-13T13:41:50.136+08:00Thank you all very much for sharing your views and...Thank you all very much for sharing your views and making your comments about Mother's Day and Irene Hoe's moving tribute for her mum.<br /><br />I have actually my own post about my mother but will leave it till next year.<br /><br />ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-2966464299517698212017-05-13T12:32:24.743+08:002017-05-13T12:32:24.743+08:00thnk you for sharing this timely reminder.thnk you for sharing this timely reminder.frigidboneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714582637228129814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-29668536481058769112017-05-12T22:34:29.750+08:002017-05-12T22:34:29.750+08:00Both moms n dads are to be honored daily... easier...Both moms n dads are to be honored daily... easier said than done!

She is a gentle lady, strangely though, I don't ever remember her saying harsh words or swearing at anyone.<br /><br />Her life may be tough but her living is simple. Cooking for the family, watching soap operas, cowboy and Red Indian movies on TV.<br /><br />When you talk about religion, her reply will always be, "As long as I don't harm others... I'm fine." It's simple but effective.<br /><br />I knew we will part one day and I work on preparing towards that goal. So when the time came, I was prepared, physically and mentally. Mum also did her preparations. She had a list of what to do, by whom, up to where her ashes should be kept.<br /><br />Well, mother is not one day in a year. Mother is ever present, in life, death and beyond. Mother is and will always be part of our existence. Without my mother I would be...<br /><br />Love you mum always.

Her love is as constant as the Northern Star and her love for her children is beyond any form of measurement. Its as infinite as infinite can be! She is a teacher, a true friend, and a comforting cushion when <br />her child should fall. Sadly she is also often taken for granted when things are smooth sailing.<br /><br />For those whose mothers are alive, take care not to hurt them in words or actions, especially in their old age when they are frail and weak. The people closest to us are the most capable of inflicting the deepest cuts and hurts! We can never be what they have been to us. But we can try our utmost!<br /><br />Salute to all mothers!<br /><br />God bless all mothers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627468033353477649noreply@blogger.com
