Mother\'s Day has a very special place in the hearts of the majority of people in America. Hallmark estimates that 150 million Mother\'s Day cards will be sent this year (but only 95 million Father\'s Day cards), making Mother\'s Day the third largest greeting card holiday of the year. U.S. Americans spend an average of $105 on Mother\'s Day gifts, $90 on Father\'s Day gifts. The phone rings more often on Mother\'s Day than Father\'s Day -- though Father\'s Day will have more collect calls. The busiest day of the year at car washes? The Saturday before Mother\'s Day.
A May 1 Baptist Press article reports that a new study says young children of churchgoing parents fare better behaviorally, emotionally and cognitively than do children of parents who never attend church. In fact, the more often the parents attend, the better off the kids are.
No one deserves a special day all to herself more than today\'s Mom. A cartoon showed a psychologist talking to his patient: \"Let\'s see,\" he said, \"You spend 50 percent of your energy on your job, 50 percent on your husband and 50 percent on your children. I think I see your problem.\"
Solomon Rosenberg, his wife and their two sons were arrested and placed in a concentration camp. The rules were simple. As long as they did their work, they were permitted to live. When they became too weak to work, they would be exterminated.

Rosenberg watched as his own father and mother were marched off to their deaths and he knew that his youngest son David would be next because he had always been a frail child. Every evening Rosenberg came back into the barracks after his hours of hard labor and searched for the faces of his family. When he found them they would huddle together, embrace one another and thank God for another day of life.

One day he came back and didn’t see those familiar faces. He finally discovered his oldest son, Joshua, in a corner sobbing and praying. "Josh, tell me it’s not true." Joshua turned to his dad and said, "It’s true. Today David was not strong enough to do his work and so they took him away." Mr. Rosenberg then asked, "But where is your mother?" Joshua could barely speak and finally uttered, "When they came for David, he was afraid and cried and so mom took his hand and went with him."
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife\'s voice urgently warning him, \"Herman, I just heard on the news that there\'s a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!\"
\"Are you kidding?\" exclaimed Herman. \"It\'s not just one car. It\'s hundreds of them!\"
