It's Mother's Day. I cannot think of a more precious day than this one. Memories flood back into our minds of years past when we were young and still being cared for by our moms. Have you ever seen anyone more unselfish than mom?

My mother passed away a few years ago and I still miss not being able to call her and wish her well. She raised eight children during some rather difficult years. My dad was not home for a number of those years and it was left up to mom to teach us values and to see that we were cared for.

It was shortly after my wife and I married that mom taught me a valuable lesson. I do not remember all the events that surrounded the circumstances nor do I remember the words I spoke at the time. They were however words harshly spoken to my wife and my mom heard them. She took me aside and told me in no uncertain terms that I had better straighten up. I believe she said, "You do not speak to your wife in that manner." There was no overlooking my conduct. I was wrong and she made sure I understood it.

To all you moms, I pray you have a wonderful day and that you leave great memories for you children.
