You know, Lord, Mothers Day is a salute to our mothers. In the USA motherhood is celebrated the second Sunday in May. Our mom told us it began in the USA before 1915. She told how they, as a family, always went to church and that carnations were given to all mothers. Even when we were little kids that tradition held true, and in some churches, even so today. White carnations for the lady whose mom had passed on and if their mom was still living, they received a red carnation. Mother’s Day is observed the second Sunday in M...
