What Counts Most

 On Mother’s Day, how will you show your love to your mother and thank her for everything she has done? 

Like many people, you may be tempted by city commercials to take your mum to a restaurant or buy her presents. But expensive things aren’t necessarily her ideal gifts. 

Perhaps you’ll prepare something personal: design a beautiful Mother’s Day card; make an exquisite handicraft; or cook something to surprise her. 

Or would you do something really unusual – an invitation to a walk together in the park; a heart-to-heart chat on the beach; or a game of riddles? 

But if you’re still racking your brains for gift ideas, think of what she will like most from you. Would you ask her what will make her most happy? 

Believe it or not, the most precious gift in her eyes may not cost you a cent. Indeed, what means most to her may just be an attitude, a habit, or something that you do every day. Are you prepared to offer it to her no matter how difficult? 

Yes, a Mother’s Day gift need not be gorgeous. What counts most is our love and respect for her. 

Happy Mother’s Day!
