On this day when we're trying to show our loving appreciation for all that love we've received from the special person called "Mom," it is so fitting that we hear Jesus say what he said here in our text: "A new command I give you: Love one another." Actually, Jesus' command to love one another is appropriate for any day of the year, but it does take on special meaning on a day like today since included in that command to love, are those special ladies who brought us into this world and loved us in a way that only a mother can.
