Our belief keeps us from getting too involved in man made holidays. None of the traditional ones of the world are considered in our beliefs to be of God. Therefore, we don't celebrate them.
Most of them are made to take you away from the truth and designed to put you in debt.
As for Mother's day? If you can't honor her 365 days a year, what's the point in just one day? Will one day make up for the rest?
I don't think so.
If someone isn't close to their mother, they can still honor her in some way.
The Bible says we are to HONOR our father and mother.
It doesn't say anything about giving her a special day or anything.
We should honor them always, at least in our hearts.

It amazes me how people are so easily 'dooped' into the spending mode and by choice continue to go into debt just because of 'tradition' they have no idea who started, where it started from or why.
Sad part is, most of the holidays are done in the name of God. That's the saddest part.
Another chapter into the evidence of who and what controls them I think.
If they actually knew the truth, they might be completely horrified.

Thank you very much it is nice to know that I am not the only person who feels this way. These are my sentiments exactly, I truly believe that holidays are designed to keep us in debt and that as a mother we should be honor everyday. This is something I have said for years even before I became a mother. If people would just pay attention to the things that are around them they would see the cycle that these holidays keeps them in. I say it again a woman after my own heart.

I would say to think about the Christmas and birthdays that she was around and focus on them and not on the fact that she is no longer around. I have been without my son for three years now and I just try to remember the happy times.

I don't particularly care to much for my mothers side of the family, however my mother & I are VERY close:-) I'm a mammas boy ... LOL:-) It would kill me not to talk to my mother on Mothers Day or any other day for that matter. Hows your relationship with your mother sweetie, if you don't mind????

Well, my relationship with my mother is not like yours, we have more of a long distance relationship the longer the distance the better the relationship. I am the black sheep of my family, I live my life by the beat of my drum and my sister listen to everything they say.

I like to spend my holiday with family and disposing of other house-hold affairs. My mother now a day does not stay with me (she stays with my brother) but whenever she is with us, I like to spend my as much time, as possible with her.

I spend the holidays with my significant other, and my friends. My father and I aren't close, and the rest of my family is deceased. ..On Mother's Day, I try to take flowers and put them on her grave, along with my other family members.. I haven't in a few years, because it's really hard for me. It's also hard for me to get there, because it's pretty far away from where I live now.

I sorry that you have so little family left, but I am happy to hear that you have someone to share the good and the bad with. It always helps to have some who cares about you to get you through the hard times. For me I have my children.

My family and I are very close, so I'm not quite sure what I'd do, though we have had our ups& downs. I do miss my mom very much though, as she passed away some years ago. My dad passed a year before her.

well a family matters a lot especially if you are going out to enjoy . becuase its a natural feeling to have your loved ones around where you are enjoying yourself. i feel very lonely and bored if my family is not with me someplace. i want my brothers and sisters and parents to be at every place i am going. as for mothers day my mom has not yet been away from me at that particular day, so i just wish her there and then .
