Happy Mother's Day

What is a Mother?
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do, With a warm
understanding and infinite patients.
And wonderful gentleness, too. How often
a mother means swift reassurance In soothing our
small, childish fears, How tenderly mothers watch
over their children And treasure them
all through the years! The heart of a mother is
full of forgiveness For any mistake, big or
small, And generous always in helping her family,
Whose needs she has placed above all.
A mother can utter a word of compassion And
make all our cares fall away, She can brighten
a home with the sound of her laughter And
make life delightful and gay. A mother
possesses incredible wisdom And wonderful
insight and skill - In each human heart
is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!

"God could not be everywhere and therefore
he made mothers." -- Jewish proverb

When God Made Moms

When the good Lord was creating mothers!!!!!
He was into His sixth day of "overtime
when the angel appeared and said,
"You're doing a lot of fiddling around
on this one." AND THE LORD SAID.....
"Have you read the specs on this order?
She has to be completely washable, but not
plastic. Have 180 moveable parts... all
replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers.
Have a lap that disappears when she stands up,
a kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg
to a disappointed love affair, and six pairs of
hands." And the angel shook her head slowly and
said,"Six pairs of hands...no way."
"It is not the hands that are causing me
problems," said the Lord, "It's the three
pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
"That's on the standardmodel?" asked the
angel. THE LORD NODDED....One pair that sees
through closed doors when she asks "What are
you kids doing in there?" when she already
knows. Another here in the back of her head
thatsees what she shouldn't, but what she has
to know; and of course the ones here in front
that can look at a child when he goofs up and
say, "I understand and I love you", without so
much as uttering a word." "Lord", said the
angel touching his sleeve gently, "go to bed,
tomorrow...." "I can't", said the Lord, "I'm
so close to creating something so close to
myself. Already I have one who heals herself
when she is sick....can feed a family of six
on one pound of hamburger, and can get a nine
year old to stand under a shower." The angel
circled the model of a mother very slowly.
"It's too soft", she sighed. "But tough!"
said the Lord excitedly. You cannot imagine
what this mother can do or endure." "Can it
think?" "Not only can it think, but it can
reason and compromise", said the Creator.
Finally the angel bent over and ran her
finger across the cheek. "There's a leak",
she pronounced. "I told you, you were trying
to put too much into this model."
"It's not a leak", said the Lord. "It's a tear".
"What's it for?" "It's for joy, sadness,
disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride."
"You're a genius", said the angel.
THE LORD LOOKED SOMBER.....
"BUT I DIDN'T PUT IT THERE".

"My mother was the most beautiful woman
I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother.
I attribute all my success in life to the
moral, intellectual and physical education
I received from her."
-- George Washington (1732-1799)

WONDERFUL MOTHER

God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
--Pat O'Reilly

"By and large, mothers and housewives
are the only workers who do not have
regular time off. They are the great
vacationless class."
-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1907- )

Mom, Cindy picked this one for you.
She said it reminds her that she is
always telling you, "I'll be okay."

Because of You, Mother,
I'll Always Be Okay

Mother, I know there have been times
when I've caused you to be concerned,
I know sometimes you worry about me.
But please remember,
I have learned my best lessons in life
from you.
You taught me how to be strong and confident
and to always look at the world with
sensitivity and love.
I'm glad I have the chance to say
"Thank you, Mother,"
for being you and for giving me a
wonderful attitude towards life,
and to let you know that because of you,
I will always be okay."
I Love You.

Mother, I Want To Tell
You All the Things I
Sometimes Forget to Say

Mother,
sometimes I may forget to say
"I Love You"
for all the times only you
understood what I was feeling.
Sometimes I may forget to say
"Thank You"
for every time you helped me
understand the disappointments
and triumphs of life.
Sometimes I may forget to say
"I'm Sorry"
for all the mistakes I've made
that caused you so much worry.
Sometimes I may forget to say
"I need you"
because I'm trying to be
independent and do certain
things on my own.
That doesn't mean I don't
need you, because I know
that, no matter what,
you will always be there
for me; it just means that
I want to accomplish it
myself, without having to
ask for help.
There is something I could
never forget, though,
and that's knowing that
throughout my life, you've
shown me gentleness,
patience, understanding,
and love.
--Sheila Ann McKinney--

In closing, I'd like to tell
you this, with all my heart...

I'm Glad Your My Mother

I sometimes wonderwhat kind of
person I'd be if for some
reason you had not been
my mother.
I think of all the values
I might have been taught,
and I wonder if I would
have grown up like myself,
or whether I would have had
the opportunities I've had.
It's then that I realize again
how lucky I am to have a mother
who cares for me the way you do.

And I feel that I was meant
to be your child, because if
I had ever been given the
chance to choose which
mother I would have...
I would have chosen you.
