A Heart Just like Mom
I May not pray often, and I may not pray
enoughbut when I do, this is all I ask of
you..God please give me a heart just like
hersShe loves unconditionally, no matter what,
no matter who..God give me courage to be like
herShe's very brave, she makes me
unafraid..God give me wisdom just like hersShe
knows everything, big and small, she's there to
help through it all..God give me strength just
like hersShe's been knocked down, yet she stands
strong for another round..God give me beauty
just like hersWhen she smiles it gives me that
feeling that everything will be okay, and all my
problems disappear for awhile....God give me
generosity just like hersShe helps the helpless,
she never thinks of herself and she's so
un-selfish....God- someday, if I'm at least
half the mom she was to me, I'll know that you
were listening On the day that I prayed.

Mother's Day History
The earliest history of Mothers Day dates back to
the ancient annual spring festival the Greeks
dedicated to maternal goddesses. The Greeks used
the occasion to honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and
the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.
Ancient Romans, too, celebrated a spring
festival, called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a
mother goddess. It may be noted that ceremonies
in honour of Cybele began some 250 years before
Christ was born. The celebration made on the Ides
of March by making offerings in the temple of
Cybele lasted for three days and included
parades, games and masquerades. The celebrations
were notorious enough that followers of Cybele
were banished from Rome. Early Christians
celebrated a Mother's Day of sorts during the
festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of
the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ. In England
the holiday was expanded to include all mothers.
It was then called Mothering Sunday.

A Mother's Love

• There are times when only a Mother's loveCan
  understand our tears,Can soothe our
  disappointsAnd calm all of our fears. There are
  times when only a Mother's loveCan share the joy
  we feelWhen something we've dreamed aboutQuite
  suddenly is real. There are times when only a
  Mother's faithCan help us on life's wayAnd
  inspire in us the confidenceWe need from day to
  day. For a Mother's heart and a Mother's
  faithAnd a Mother's steadfast loveWere
  fashioned by the AngelsAnd sent from God above
