Who would you say gave birth to mankind? Yes, we all know that God created man from the dust of the ground, but by himself ‘this man’ could not multiply the family of man on earth. He was not designed to do that. Eve, the mother, was designed to do so. Some would say she is marvellous, outstanding, talented, honourable, exceptional, and responsible. She is sacrificial and understanding. Still haven’t figured out who this person is? Around the world many persons honour and celebrate mothers and motherhood and mom’s positive contribution to society. In the United States of America and the Caribbean, the third Sunday in May is set aside to pay tribute to our mothers. Sunday 13, 2012 is Mothers’ Day. But who decided that mothers should be celebrated?
