In Australia, we just finished our Mother’s Day. I’m going to bed after writing this post. I’ve got a simple but meaningful Mother’s Day. This morning I enjoyed our pastor’s encouraging words on being a respectful mom (with lots of jokes). Many friends were invited to come and join us. Our church teens and younger children formed a group to sing a song, Give Thanks (by Don Moen) to all mothers who came. Quite nice. Then some gifts were presented to all mothers. I’ve got one too – a lipstick! A few hours ago, my son shouted me a fantastic Chinese dinner. Yummy. That’s my Mother’s Day this year.

A few thoughts came up:

1. Appreciation of mothers is a cultural thing. Our children will response well if they see people modelling around. It comes naturally.
2. As a mother myself, I’d like to appreciate every effort my children put in to please me no matter how big or small it is.
3. I really wish everyday was a Mother’s Day.

Wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms.
