2 “History of Mothers Day”
The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. St Andrew's Methodist Church now holds the International Mother's Day Shrine. Her campaign to make Mother's Day a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died.

3 “History of Mothers Day”
Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War, and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed a mother is "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world"

23 “Things I Learned from My Mom” (Mother’s Day May12th)

24 A Mother’s Wisdom Proverbs 4:5-7 Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

25 1. Forgiveness is required for your healing
Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT) 14 “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15 But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

26 2.PRAY THEN PRAY SOME MORE and then Pray in tongues
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT) Never stop praying 1 Corinthians 14:2 (NIV) For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.

27 3. Just Be Patient it brings maturity
James 1:3 (KJV) 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing

28 4. Trust God at All times through All things

29 5. Loving People Reveals Jesus best.
John 13:35 (ESV) By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

30 6. God can truly heal your Heart if you let Him
Jeremiah 17:14 (ESV) Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise

31 7. “Be generous to those in need” (World Missions)
James 1:5 (NAS) But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

32 8. If you succeed in ministry and fail in your marriage, then you have failed
Ephesians 5:25-28 (ESV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loves the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

33 9. Love your kids through stupid - I did
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it

34 10. Leave it better when you leave than how you found it.
Luke 12:41 (NAS) 41 Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?” 42 And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?
