A Day After Mother's Day

     Someone on the radio apparently suggested yesterday that it should be called "Mother's Day," but "Significant Women's Day."  Someone else reported that they'd been told it wasn't "Mother's Day," but "Parents' Day."  Well, historically it has always been Mother's Day.  But we often and appropriately use it to celebrate significant women in our lives.  And please don't forget all parents.  In fact, now that the day is over, it may be all the more meaningful to reach out to parents and significant people in our lives to share how important they are to us. 
     Often overlooked is the fact that Mother's Day is also the Festival of the Christian Home.  For those raised with parents of faith, we know what a precious gift this is.  What can each of us do to make our own homes more Christian?  How can we reach out to others to witness to the liht that shines in the heart of a Christian home?  How can we share the light of truth, courage and faith?
