No. I'm not celebrating Mother's Day. Just like DeBeers Diamonds invented a way to steal thousands of dollars from a young couple who needs the money way more than they do, and Lent benefits the fishing industries, Mother's Day is another corporate-cash grab. Don't believe me?

You may be right. You might be able to celebrate Mother's Day without giving your cash to a flower company, jewelry company or phone company - but I doubt it.

As a young Catholic girl, I remember Mother's Day very clearly. It was the one day a year that greeters held big bouquets of roses at the door - and only gave them to mothers. I still would be without a rose.

It's great for the flower industry - with every Catholic temple in the nation buying millions of roses using the 10% tithe their members shell out. But it's not good for slave/forced labor in the world. And it's not good for equality. Great for caste systems though.

And I learned a lot about the origin of caste systems today, because I didn't focus on Mother's Day. Instead, I was able to write this thread, which took me hours: https://twitter.com/bookofkatherine/status/1391461808658132994 I think it was worth it, don't you?

God doesn't define a woman by whether she has children by her womb or not. He would give every women that allows him too a flower. That's what he says in Isaiah 49. He adores those in exile, too. They can have children in other ways. (Link: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+49&version=MSG) #Isaiah49
