Mothers Dsy
Today is Sunday, May 12. It
is the one duy of the year specif-
ically Pet aside to honor Mothor.
It is a day when we should
think back of the fine and lov-
ing things our mothers have dono
for us. It is a day of tribute and
happiness, of thanking God for
each a wonderful mother.
Maybe by changing the spelling
of Mothers Day to Mother’s Day
We could see the true spirit of
the occasion. And then, let us
do just that. Truly make it a
Mother’s Day.
