Is Mother’s Day a Joke? 10 Fresh Ways to Honor Your Mother

 

Some holidays come and go with little circumstance. Others are little more than an inconvenient bank holiday (think Columbus Day). Then, there’s Mother’s Day, which is a road bump en route to Father’s Day, right? Think Mother’s Day is another Hallmark marketing strategy to boost sales of sappy cards, and dust-collecting knick-knacks? Is it a day to make the obligatory visit with your buttoned-up shirt and flowers in hand? Has Mother’s Day become a joke?

Not to God. In fact, an argument could be made that it’s the one holiday we are commanded to honor. Not even Christmas and Easter have the distinction of being a commandment to celebrate.

Taking it 364 steps further, the Bible says numerous times to “honor your father and mother,”  which means not just on one day, but every day. If you do, there’s a promise of reward.

  • “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” — Exodus 20:12

“Listen, Kenny. Do you have a minute? I need to ask you a question about something.”

Pause.

“Absolutely. Fire away.”  I said.

That was a lie. A truthful response would have been: “No, I don’t have a minute or another second. I just finished a board meeting. I am under titanic pressure at the moment to finish this project, and I am getting frustrated over all the interruption!” That was my reality but I wasn’t going to make Bill suffer for what he didn’t know. I love the guy. So I let on about my reality for Bill’s sake and just swallowed my angst. After mentally placing my precious schedule on the altar, Bill shared with me what’s giving him a spiritual fever.
