Mother's Day

As I prepare for this Sunday and look at the text we'll be prayerfully examining, Acts 16:9-15, and its intersection with the celebration of Mother's day I'm wondering, what is it about Mother's that like Lydia does with Paul in v.15 "persuades" us so efficiently to do the things we ought, perhaps timelessly expressed in the proverb, "Mother knows best." - any thoughts, or stories?
