Why does it matter?
Old Testament [5th commandment]: "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." [Exodus 20:12, cf Deuteronomy 5:16]
New Testament: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." [Ephesians 6:1-3, cf Colossians 3:20]

So how do you plan to celebrate your mom this Sunday? [If she's deceased, tell us what you loved about her and why. ]

EDIT: Mother's Day free stuff! B-)

Every year on Mother's day we get up early and make her breakfast. Normally it's toast or scones since we have set up at our church. We also have to plan ahead and find time to go shopping with Dad since none of us drive yet. :)

We go out to lunch (where ever she wants, of course) and then I make dessert for after dinner. My Mom's favorite dinner is BBQ so we always have that for dinner.

This year we procrastinated a little and still don't have our gift. :-s We're planning on getting her a Vera Bradley bag. She loves their prints. :D

I do the same thing as Melian_Maia.

I get up and do things she normally does for me, although my boyfriend and I are both planning something big and sweet for both of our moms.

That link had a lot of interesting information. I didn't know Mother's Day could be so political.

My sister and I got my mom a couple of CDs. We will be going out for dinner on Mother's Day. I'm not sure if we are doing anything special during the day or not. My mom gets to chose what we do.

My mom doesn't like mother's day for some reason, she always tells us not to do anything special, I guess she thinks it's silly? I don't know, my mom is funny :)

I went to Filoli Flower Gardens (somewhere near Cupertino CA, don't know where. I'm kinda directionally challenged :D ) and played a couple pieces with my quartet just earlier today (go cellos!). :D

@TheGeneral: ditto on my mom. :p I didn't do anything special for her. I wish I had. She needs it. :(

Yesterday, God gave me some insight on the 6th commandment. When it says “so your days may be long on the land,” I interpreted that as my physical life, the number of years I’m on this earth. It probably means that. But it goes deeper. It’s a promise of blessing—for an individual, a family, a nation. It means not only the length of the person, family, or nation’s life on the land, but also the fullness of that life—physical, emotional, financial, spiritual, etc. :)
