To all mothers: Happy Mother's Day!

"Mother" is "em" in Hebrew, which literally means "the one who binds the family together". That's something new I learnt from a recent email article forwarded to me by a friend.

I'd like to honour all the mothers who heeds God's calling to be the ones who binds their families together. Today, we see many broken families and many women seeing the role of a mother as a lesser option. We need to recognise the sacrifice that all mothers have made in keeping the families together. Lest we treat Mother's Day as just another profitable day for merchants, let's honour our mothers, our wives and our daughters with the Lord's blessings of abundance and self-fulfillment.
