A while back I became concerned about the way Mother's Day has become a liberal statement on the importance of women in everything, not only motherhood. I asked Brother Godfly to head up a committee of men to write some guidelines for celebrating Mother's Day. I want to thank Godfly and his committee for their report which includes suggestions to make this a special day for our LBC mothers:
1. Mothers, suggest to the men in your house you will prepare a lavish brunch and they need not take you to a restaurant.
2. Men should dine first at a Mother's Day brunch lest there not be enough of some items in the spread.
3. A prayer should precede the brunch with reference to the mother and several references to the husband for his generosity on this special day.
4. Women need to work at establishing a balance between accepting honor on this day but remaining in their secondary role.
Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers of Freehold.
