For all of the mothers out there that have sons an dauthers,that have given birth to them in which they are now grown up say your little prayers for them for someday you dauthers will be mothers as well.then someday you'll give God thanks for your mothers. as i've given God thanks for the many nights an days they have spent up with me when i was sick.give me warth when i was cold told me storys when i was scared.or told me that there's no monsters in my closet.or even under my bed.For mothers are very special people,they need to be rembered as when they took care of us when we need them. give us food when we was hungry. tuck us in at night. i've heard my mother pray many times as i lay there sleeping. Mother is half of the Father/Mother team, the one who gave birth to you as a child. When she first held you in her arms, she fell madly in love with you! She is the one that changed your diaper, gave you your bottle, bathed and dressed you. She is the one who tended to you when you were sick, wishes she could have bore your pain, but unable to even share it with you. There is none like a Mother. If you have children, then you know what it's like to be a Mother. Often, it's a tough job, with unruly children, and many heartaches before they are grown. Sometimes a Mother is lucky that she has well- disciplined children, but only because she has done her best in order for them to be well-adjusted teenagers and later adults. Mostly, Mother sits and worries that she hasn't done her best with her children, especially if they don't turn out as she thought they should, with all the training she had given them. Mother is a human being, capable of making mistakes. She is not perfect, just as none of us are perfect. But she is the one that we picture as being perfect during our childhood. As we become older, we realize that Mothers are capable of right and wrong ways of doing things, missing the mark, just as much as the next person. But she is still Mother. The thing that sets her apart is her everlasting love for her children and her intent that they lead normal, well-adjusted lives. Not until we become adults, do we really begin to appreciate WHO Mother really is. She has nurtured you through your childhood, put up with your sassy ways and times of being lazy during your teenage years, and cried through your becoming an adult. But Mother was always there to encourage you when you made a mistake, although sometimes it's hard not to show disappointment {I am sure I've done that}. As we grow older and have our own children, we realize that Mother was a very strong person, and we begin to wonder can we ever fit into her shoes. No, we wear our 'own shoes'........we can never do things the same as our Mother, although she has given us the pattern from which to build. IF we have a Godly Mother {I did!}, then we can bring up our children in the ways of God, so that when they grow older we have the assurance that some day they will live for God. After all, Proverbs says " Train up a child in the ways he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. " Mothers are special. Is your Mother living today? If so, try to make this Mother's Day the most wonderful day of her life! Show her you care if only by telling her you love her. Take her out to eat, take her flowers, but show up on Mother's Day, if possible. You will never know how much this helps Mother to realize her family still cares. Sometimes we get busy doing the usual things in life, and lose sight of the most important aspects - loving our family. And Mother happens to be where that 'family' began. Without Mother, there would never have been a family. You might also tell Daddy that you are so happy that he chose Mother to be his wife. Make his eyes light up as well!! M - Messenger, relaying God's Word O - Outpouring of genuine Love T - Trusts in God H - Heart set on things above E - Earthly saint R - Rescuer of the Wayward THOUGHTS FOR LIFE The greatest handicap...............................FEAR The best day..............................................TODAY The easiest thing to do............................FIND FAULT Most useless asset..................................PRIDE The greatest mistake..............................GIVING UP The greatest stumbling block...............EGOTISM The greatest comfort.............................WORK WELL DONE The Most Disagreeable person............THE COMPLAINER The worst Bankruptcy..........................LOSS OF ENTHUSIASM The greatest need.................................COMMON SENSE The meanest feeling............................REGRET ANOTHER'S SUCCESS The best gift.........................................FORGIVENESS The greatest moment.........................DEATH The greatest knowledge....................GOD The greatest thing in the world........LOVE To my child... Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying. Just for this morning, I will let you wake up softly, all rumpled in your sheets and I will hold you until you are ready for the day. Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is. Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play. Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together. Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the back yard and blow bubbles. Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by. Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second-guess every decision I have made where you are concerned. Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them. Just for this afternoon, I will take you to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys. Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about when you were born, and how much I love you. Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry. Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars. Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV show. Just for this evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about the mothers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore, and when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day. A father wanted to read a magazine but was being distracted by his little girl, Shelby. Finally, he tore a sheet out of his magazine on which was printed the map of the world. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby, and said, " Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. " After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map correctly fitted together. Her father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. " Oh, " she said, " on the other side of the paper is a picture of god. When I got all of god back where He belonged, then the world came together.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 thats a great little story but not everyone had a great mother.....some women just dont make good mothers. some people period dont deserve to have kids. some people never wanted kids but had them .....i know this because my own mother was this type of person....my kids dad left his kids.....my half sister left two kids....some people dont make good parents...some people abandend their kids...it depends on how selfish people are. to me, my kids are great gifts and are everything to me....they are very important people and i LOVE THEM MORE THAN ANYTHING, WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THEM AND ALWAYS SHOW THEM I LOVE THEM AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM. so you cant say just because someone gave birth to children that that makes them a good mom or dad. unwanted children are born everyday and the emotional pain can be deep and complex. shobha saibabanews From: mbenz2412Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:42:38 +0000[saibabanews] Who Is a Mother?
