"She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive , and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate". - Proverbs 31:26-31
One of the great investment that I consider is "relationship". You can be wealthy and rich but if you do not build a strong relationship with others, your wealth will only lead you to misery. Today, let us celebrate with one of the greatest people that could ever have - our mothers.

If there is one person in this planet that know you well before you exist on earth, that would be your mother.
She may not be perfect but she makes us a better individual. She maybe hard to understand at times but she has always known what is best for us. You may have a lot of arguments and disagreements, but as we listen to her and as we grow older, we begin to understand her points of view. She is not perfect but this is true of our mother - she makes a lot of sacrifices for us.
Honoring your mom by dating her this Mother's Day is the best payback for all her efforts when we were young. Thanking her this Mother's Day is a simple reward we can give to her for all she has done for us: for keeping us right and shaping us to be the best that we can be.
Let our mothers feel that she is appreciated and valued. Take this opportunity to have a great time with her: by listening intently to her when she speaks or helping her out when she needs it. Let her feel wonderful by showing her how grateful we are.
So don't let the day end without making her feel special. Nothing is more hurtful than feeling forgotten.
Make this day memorable for her no matter how simple our celebration maybe; for it's not how much money we will spend on her but how much love we give to her that counts. Make it an unforgettable experience for them.
Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms out there.
"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you: you shall be comforted in Jerusalem". - Isaiah 66:13
