"MAY 9"

May your father and mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice! - PROVERBS 23:25

What does a mother want on Mother's Day? The least you can do is give her a Mother's Day card. Many mothers are grateful for just that. Just remember to sign it. Next up the ladder are flowers or candy. All are acceptable and will b sure to touch her heart.
But if you really want to honor your mother, all you have to do is wish her a happy Mother's Day, with or without a card and some flowers. Or you can go crazy-personally take her out to dinner and pay the bill!
It doesn't take much to please a mother. Then you can get back to your daily routine, knowing you gave her what she really wants-you.

Father, I know that whatever I do for my mother this day can never pay her back for everything she’s done for me. Help me find a way to let her know I lover her and need her in my life.
