FOR ALL MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS ON MOTHERS DAY
We have printed this before but feel it is worth repeating with all the new Mothers we have in TRI-V the last couple of years.
… And God Created A Mother
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…Six pairs of hands? No Way!”
“It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” said the Lord. “It’s the three pairs of eyes…one pair that sees through closed doors when she asks,”What are u kids doing in there?…Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn’t but what she has to know. And, of course, the ones here in the front that can look at a child who goofs up and says, “I understand and I love you.” without so much as uttering a word…”
The angel circled the model 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 and dream,” 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 the 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. “I didn’t put it there.”
