1.My mom has always been my mom and none of
that other stuff.
2.I
don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3.The say she used to be nice.
What did mom
need to know about dad before she married him?
1.His last name.
2.She had to know his background.Like is he a crook?Does he get drunk on beer?Does he make at least $800 a year?Does he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?
In celebration
of upcoming Mother’s Day, each day this week I am going to share some questions
and the funny answers that kids gave their about moms and dads.You might even laugh out loud!
Why did God make
mothers?
1.She’s the only one who knows where the
scotch tape is.
2.Mostly to clean the house.
3.To help us out of there when we were
getting born
How did God make
mothers?
1.He used dirt, just like the rest of us.
2.Magic plus super powers and a lot of
string.
3.God made my mom just the same like he
made me.He just used bigger parts.
I wanted to find a poem to share in celebration of this day, my son and new daughter-in-law's wedding day. Though I searched for the perfect words, nothing ran across worked for me. I asked them to play I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz at the reception because of its haunting melody and powerful message. It says everything I want to say so I've attached a link.
I apologize for the commercial beforehand. Please check it out, it's worth it, I promise.
I sat down on my
patio this morning while enjoying my breakfast and thought about the
relationships in my life. Beginning with
my husband, my parents, my son’s and their families, and my friends, and thought
about how I might begin to make these relationships stronger.
The only way
that came to mind was to enrich each of them by giving more of myself.This is the list that I came up with:
·Give
without keeping score.
·Give
when you don’t appear to be getting anything in return.
·Give
attention.
·Give
compassion.
·Give
the benefit of the doubt.
·Give
of your time.
·Give
of your gifts and talents
·Give
human touch (hugs).
I believe that
there is nothing more powerful than love in action.Love for and through the characters that I
create make them powerful on the page.If
you put love in action on a daily basis, think of all the relationships, the
very lives of each person, that can be encouraged and changed because you
gave something of yourself.
Can you enrich
your relationships by giving a little more, even though you may not feel like
it?Everyone will benefit, including
yes, even you.
If you woke up
this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the
million who won’t survive the week.
If you have
never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the
agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of twenty million
people around the world.
If you attend a
church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are
more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.
If you have food
in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, and a place
to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
If your parents
are still married and alive, you are very rare, especially in the United
States.
If you hold up
your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed
because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold
someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed
because you can give God’s healing touch.
If you have
money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you
are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If you can read
this post, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who
cannot read anything at all.
You are blessed
in so many ways you may never even know.

I think about
the many ways in which I am blessed on a daily basis and am thankful and
grateful beyond measure. How about you, are you
blessed?
