Honor Your Mother (Ex. 20:12) (Part 5)

4. SATISFACTION: YOU SHOULD HONOR YOUR MOTHER BECAUSE SHE IS WORTH CELEBRATING.

Where would you be without your mother? (It's a rhetorical question since, without your mother, you wouldn't be here today reading this post, thus contemplating an answer.)

Today, don't celebrate motherhood; celebrate mother (your mother). Mother and child – it is a personal relationship, from which you have benefited greatly.

It is possible to celebrate Mother's Day and not celebrate or honor your mother. Perhaps that is why Anna Jarvis, the founder of what we know as Mother's Day, would later regret having pushed to make it a national day. She lamented there was too much commercialization and not enough personalization.
