8、 Mother’s Day is to honor Mrs. Anna Reeves Jarvis, one of the mothers in a small town in West Virginia in the Unites States, during the Civil War. She got the women from both sides – whose husband or son was for the North or against the north – to agree to meet together just to start friendships. As to Mrs. Jarvis started a “Mothers’ Friendship Meeting” every month. As the women met and talked and sometimes prayed (祈禱) together for the safe return for their husbands and sons from the Civil War, they began to form real friendships. When the Civil War finally ended in 1865, the soldiers returned home. When the returning Northern soldiers, who wore the blue uniforms of the Union, would meet men wearing the grey uniforms of the Confederacy (南方聯(lián)邦), fights would break out. Mrs. Jarvis had an idea. If the mothers of those angry men had been able to become friends through meeting and talked together, wouldn’t the same thing work with their husbands and sons? Her plan was to ask each mother in her Meeting group and as many other mothers possible to invite one or more of the returned soldiers to the next Mother’s Friendship Meeting. Every one of the soldiers was invited since these were mostly Christians (基督徒) or from Christian families, they sang the familiar songs about God’s love for them. And of course the husbands and sons were thankful that God had brought them home in spite of all the dangers. The attitude of the meeting changed. And by the end many of the men who had been hating and fighting with each other for the past three years on the street of the town shook hands and walked out of the door of that Mothers’ Friendship Meeting together as friends. The whole attitude of the changed from that day.
