Our nation has set aside this day to honor our others—both those who are still living and those who have gone on to their reward. There are several ways to do this. Some of the more common ones include giving a special gift to your mom, be it a bouquet of flowers or a new piece of jewelry. Maybe some chocolates. Some people make a special effort to visit their mother if they live some distance, and they often honor Mom by attending worship with her. If you are in this category, you are especially welcomed in the worship hour today.

If a trip to Mom’s is not an option for you, contacting via phone or e-mail is always nice. With today’s technology, you might even want to set up a Skype account and video chat with Mom over the Internet.

Here are a couple of suggestions that you may not have thought of, but are really some of the best things to do to honor your mother today: Give generously to the annual “Mother’s Day Offering” which benefits the Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (If you're not located in Illinois, find a worthy cause to support in honor of your Mom). Share your faith in Jesus with an unsaved friend or family member.

However you plan to do it, honor your mother today.
