Mother's Day's Roots: Philadelphia

I snapped a photo of this sign in Philly, finding it really interesting

that Mother's Day had its beginnings in Philadelphia.

How blessed I've been to have had the influence of

not one, but two wonderful mothers!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you who have

been given the indescribable gift of motherhood!

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, 

and comes down from the Father of lights, 

with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."

James 1:17
