Thanks to Our Mothers: Past, Present, and Future

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 6:53 pm By Frank Weathers

This Sunday in the United States we celebrate our mothers. Though it is a secular holiday, it’s one of the best ones on the calendar. I want to wish a Happy Mothers Day to all of the mothers out there. The portrait above is by Mary Cassatt and is entitled Breakfast in Bed.

For Things C.S. Lewis Said Shortly Before He Passed On…
