Mother’s Day began in its present form with a special service in May 1907 at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Gafton, West Virginia. A Methodist Laywoman, Anna Jarvis, organized the service to honor her mother who died on May 9, 1905. By 1908 Anna Jarvis was advocating that all mothers be honored on the 2nd Sunday in May.

There is no more influential or powerful role on earth than a mother’s. As significant as political, military, educational, or religious public figures may be, none can compare to the impact made by mothers. Their words are never fully forgotten, and the memory of their presence lasts a lifetime. Abraham Lincoln was right, “No one is poor who had a godly mother.”

Mothers who try to raise their children in a Biblical way fight every obstacle under the sun. The reason for this is because Satan hates mothers! And there is only one reason that Satan hates mothers so much… God Almighty loves and blesses the special nature and character of every precious mother. He endows her with a faith that is unknown in practically any other walk in life! Motherhood is one of the highest and noblest expressions of faith known to man.

Mother’s Day is all about honoring and paying tribute to those precious women who have invested so much in raising their children. We want you to know that we appreciate all you do. May God bless all the mom’s on Mother’s Day!
