There were a few short stories that could be recommended, including Liang Xiaosheng's Mother and Jia Pingwa's For Mother. These novels all depicted the image of the mother and the emotional expression of the mother in different ways. However, due to the limitations of the search results, it was impossible to provide more detailed information about these novels.
One story could be about a mother who sacrifices her own career dreams to stay home and raise her children. She spends countless hours cooking, cleaning, and helping with homework. Despite the challenges, she does it all with love.
Another example is 'Mama Day' by Gloria Naylor. The main character, Mama Day, is a single mother figure in a sense. She is a strong and independent woman on an island community. Her story shows how she uses her wisdom and strength to take care of the people around her, including the younger generations. She represents the power of single motherhood in a community - being a provider, a healer, and a source of moral guidance.
There could also be a story where your mother's friend was ill. You cooked some nutritious meals for her and ran errands like getting her medicine from the pharmacy. This simple act of kindness made her recovery process a bit easier.
One funny Mother's Day story is about a little boy who tried to make breakfast for his mom. He ended up making a huge mess in the kitchen. There were eggs on the floor, flour everywhere, but when his mom saw it, instead of being mad, she just laughed and hugged him because she knew it was his way of showing love.
Another theme is love. Christian mothers are shown to love unconditionally, like God's love. In a story, a mother might forgive her child's wrongdoings easily, just as God forgives sinners. This love is emphasized especially on Mother's Day as a celebration of motherly love.
One humorous story is about a family on Mother's Day. The dad and kids decided to make a card for mom. They were all arguing about what to write. The youngest one said, 'Let's just draw a big heart and write, Mom, we love you more than ice cream!' So they did. And when mom saw it, she laughed and said it was the best card ever. Another story could be a mother was expecting a big, fancy Mother's Day dinner. But the kids just made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and said, 'Mom, it's a PB&J day for the best mom!'

There could be a story set in a small community where a group of mothers who are friends decide to spank their children together when they find out the kids have been bullying others.
