MOTHERHOOD

7.8 Billion and counting, that's the present day population of the world and every person is on earth through a mother. What a blessing. Mothers are extremely special human beings. Each mother deserves a Nobel prize for carrying a life in her and delivering that life secure and sound into this world.
It goes without saying; 'once a mother, always a mother.' The fact that women are nurturers by nature relates very well with their ability of motherhood. Although a man is gifted with physical strength, he is totally lacking on matters psychosocial abilities. That's the reason to why the bible says; 'it's not good for a man to live alone.' Genesis 2:18  Be it as it may, that's a story of another day.
With a population of 7.8 billion people in the world, everyone was born into this world by a woman. If childbirth was a preserve of men, more likely than not, the population of the world today would be one million or less. Men don't do well with any kind of pain. When the bible says that a woman is the weaker vessel, it means physically not psychologically or socially.
The fact that physical strength supports a very minimal percentage in matters human survival helps us understand why women have a longer life expectancy compared to men.
On the other hand, it's important to understand the origin of mother's day. Although the establishment of mother's day has multiple dates which goes back to the ancient times depending on the locality, the celebration of mother's day on every second Sunday of May was the idea of Anna Jarvis back in 1908 when she decided to celebrate her late mother in Grafton, West Virginia.
Nine years later in 1914, president Woodrow Wilson, the 28th U.S. president of the United States of America signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Unfortunately, by the time of her demise in 1948, Anna Jarvis had already denounced mother's day. Her reason to disown mother's day wasn't because she lived her entire life without a child, her claim was that the commercialization of mother's day made the occasion to lose its objective. She argued that mother's day had become a lucrative occasion rather than a day to celebrate mothers.
As you we observe the 113th mother's day come Sunday 9th May 2021, kindly make some efforts to visit or call your mom and remind her that she's a special person in your life. You don't necessarily have to break your bank account in surprising her with extortionate gifts, a phone call or a visit to remind her of how dear she is will be enough. All the same, if you're abundantly blessed monetary wise, go ahead and share your blessings with your mom and any other mother out there.
For the married men, make a point of calling your mother-in-law and wish her a happy mother's day as you thank her for birthing you a sweet wife. Likewise, to the married ladies, surprise your mother-in-law with a phone call and thank her for birthing you a handsome loving husband.
For anyone who has lost a mom, I am deeply sorry for the loss. Even though my words can never sate your loss, if you're a gentleman, don't hesitate to celebrate your wife who's the sweet mom of your children. For the ladies who have lost their mothers, you are at liberty to celebrate any mom who have changed your life in one way or another. If you're  a bachelor or a spinster and you don't have a biological mother, just make sure you celebrate any mom out there because every mom is your mother.
To all mothers I say: " HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY AND MANY MORE YEARS OF GREATNESS." YOU'RE INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL AND AMAZING LADIES."
