Thoughts about Mother's Day and the Commercialism of Holidays

**READ MORE WISDOM HERE***
Thank you so much for watching! I am a woman of many views...so much more than my hair :) I personally believe that many days that at one time held meaning are now watered down commercial holidays that benefit those that have "it" for sale. I'm really starting to "see" how society targets us by what we feel to take what we work so hard to build because of a man made designated day. What do you think?

***NEW***
I am working on a Money/Finance Coach/CheerLEADER aspect to Organic Life. Not a financial advisor, a coach/cheerLEADER to celebrate financial success with you. I don't know about you, yet if I share my financial successes, hands are out to collect from certain folks. LOL!

What is a money coach? A coach/cheerleader that helps you look at the big picture and does a lot of hand-holding to get you on track with where you want to be financially. Unlike a CFP, the goal isn't to sign you up for something at the end or to get you to invest with them. The goal is to make you financially responsible. I'm not playing with life ya'll! We can have everything we believe for, work for and do. Have faith AND trust! Details will be revealed in the upcoming months.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! GOD BLESS

[SPARKWISDOM]

@bparrants THANK YOU!

I think its what you make it!Personally, I always hang out with my mom and we have a wonderful relationship. But because it is a holiday I get off work and I have extra time to spend with her. I do not feel the NEED to rush out and buy her things. I feel like I want to. I take notes about things she likes and I give her those things on Mother's Day because I appreciate her. Nobody's being bamboozled here! At the end of the day it all comes down to LOVE.

[SPARKWISDOM]

@MochaChaiChica That is very nice of you. I'm sure your mother appreciates all you do. Thanks for watching!

i concur. most holidays advertise spending MONEY. and then there are too many holidays, and then society making up new holidays at that!

[SPARKWISDOM]

@keyahnee I know! There is a day for EVERYTHING! I refuse to allow the stores to dictate how I spend.

@SPARKWISDOM There's more; The woman who was successful in lobbying to get this holiday (1914) which again was to honor mothers who had lost sons fighting in the war, 9 years later became an opponent to the very holiday she worked so hard to get. Why? She saw and hated the commercialization. I'm not so smart, just when something does not sit right with my spirit, I do research. I/we are given a brain by the Creator and I don't think it's up there just to take up space.

I believe what the Bible's says about honor our mother and father. Everyday! These so-called "holy days" are a part of the world. We know who the ruler of this world is. - 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 5:19. Commercialism, Religion, and the Military are three of the main institutions that the ruler of this system uses, to keep people enslaved. Thanks for this upload. I had put up a similar video, but I don't know if ppl really got the point.

@innaturalstateofmind The Most High God has given us, the children of Israel holy days that we must abide in the Old Testament. Jesus did not come to abolish any laws and He did not come for peace. He came to lead the lost sheep down the right and righteous path. Keep the commandments and read the old testament to see what we ought to be doing. YAH Bless in the mighty name of Yeshua(Jesus).

Great video! Christmas is a made up holiday. The Roman Catholic church put Christ into the pagan holiday called Saturnalia which is held on December 25th-Jan1. This was done by the Roman Catholic Church to get the pagans to come to the church for monetary reasons. I urge everyone that celebrates Christmas as the birth of Christ to stop. The bible teaches to celebrate the Death of Christ and not the birth. Don't be fooled by Satan anymore people please "google" the origins of these false holidays

I personally feel Mother's Day should be celebrated EVERY day. period. but when that day comes, I don't do jack much. I cook for me, I do stuff to make me feel good. My mom is still living but she and I have a troubled relationship. nevertheless, I try my best to honor her.

[HappyNappyKinks]

Did you hear of that news story where the girlfriend/wife hit her husband in the head with a pot because he didn't buy her a present for mother's day? I couldn't believe it. For mother's day my kids made me a card and a drawing, my husband told me how much he loved me and how he thinks I'm a great mother to our kids. I went to church and worshiped and that was my GREAT mother's day. I think most holidays are too commercialized. I honor my mother EVERY day and make sure she knows it. Great video!

[coreawilliams]

OMG! This is one of my FAV songs! That album is my FAV album by Deitrick Haddon. It is a Halmark holiday. If someone has to tell u when to appreciate someone, then ur raising a problem. I miss u hun! TC!

I ask my family to do whatever is on their heart. If my daughter wants to sit with me quietly, that's my gift. If my son wants to tell me all about WWF, that is my gift. Truth be told, the best Mother's day gift I've ever received was breakfast in bed (which I get every weekend anyway) and handwritten cards from my babies.

[TheWealthfreedom]

I agree. Somebody made up a day for you to spend some money. I a mom everyday. My mom celebrates everything. I did get out of going out this year and we went out to eat on Monday. I don't believe in all these holiday's except Passover. I told my kids not to buy me anything but to spend that money on bettering themselves. Like getting out of debt or starting a business or something. I don't need a day to validate that I'm a mom! Insane.

[shondrae12]

AGREED!! and AMEN!

[lkfcaple]

Very sad that people have to be told when and how to honor their mothers. 2 Corinthians 9:7- Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Kinda interesting what is said @ Wiki:Celebrations of mothers and motherhood occur throughout the world; many of these can be traced back to ancient festivals, like the Greek cult to Cybele or the Roman festival of Hilaria.
