I came across this quote by Abraham Lincoln this morning:

"I regard no man as poor who has a godly mother."

How thoroughly true. Mother's Day shouldn't be a one-day mission to let our moms know how much they mean to us...it should merely be a culmination of appreciation that has swelled throughout the year. 

But it's still nice to celebrate the day: so spend this next Sunday showering your moms with hope, love, appreciation of who they are and the sacrifices they make daily for you. No- they aren't perfect. But they certainly try.
