Mother’s Day Around the World
The concept of honoring mothers has been around since ancient times. Ancient Greeks honored Rhea, the “mother of the gods,” each spring. A celebration would be held with honey cakes, drinks, and flowers at dawn.
The idea of Mother’s Day in the U.S. was first brought about in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, who held a Mother’s Day meeting in Boston for several years. In 1907, a woman from Philadelphia named Anna Jarvis campaigned to make Mother’s Day a national celebration.

LET US PRAY…..
The 2008 National Day of Prayer was observed at the Scotts Hill mini park with approximately forty persons in attendance. The service began with the pledge to the flag after which the crowd was inspired and challenged by the thoughts and prayers of several pastors and local citizens. Prayer for many is a mainstay every day, but especially so in these days of war, troubled economy and a breakdown of morality.
Beginning with George Washington, America’s presidents have acknowledged God and relied on their faith and prayers during their tenure. From its birth as a nation, America’s abundance of blessings is attributed to her Godly heritage and the prayers of presidents. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the moment of the greatest military invasion in history, D-Day (June 6, 1944) led the nation in praying: “Almighty God, Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.”
