Honoring mothers is a biblical mandate, and their value can't be measured in dollars. Scripture calls us to honor them, and one way to do this is by expressing gratitude and speaking words of blessing over their lives.

Honoring mothers is not just a holiday, but a way of living a life of gratitude, service, and responsibility. [... more]
