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 standard
model?" 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 that sees 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 can 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."
~by Erma Bombeck~
A mother is the truest friend
we have, when trials, heavy and
sudden, fall upon us; when
adversity takes the place of
prosperity; when friends
who rejoice with us in our sunshine,
desert us when troubles
thicken around us, still will
she cling to us, and endeavor
by her kind precepts and
counsels to dissipate the
clouds of darkness, and cause
peace to return to our hearts.
~Washington Irving~
TO ALL THE MOTHERS IN THE WORLD!!!!!
