Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you Anna Jarvis

Rylee Joy celebrates Mama Rob…and Mama Lu (Grandmother Marilu, my mother) and Aunt Becky (my sister)…both great mothers too!

Thank you Anna Jarvis, the mother of “Mother’s Day” for creating the first Mother’s Day in 1907.

Anna was only 12 years old when she first became inspired for what would become her life journey.

Her mother, Mrs Jarvis, said a class prayer in the presence of her daughter. To conclude the lesson on ‘Mothers of the Bible’, Mrs Jarvis said a small prayer,

“I hope that someone, sometime will found a memorial mothers day commemorating her for the matchless service she renders to humanity in every field of life. She is entitled to it.”

Young Anna never forgot that, and though never a mother herself, she proves that you don’t have to be one to honor one. She dedicated her life to fulfill her mother’s dream of the recognition of a day for honoring mothers.
