Hello everyone and welcome to my " Mother's Day" web page. This page
is dedicated to all Mothers. As they have one of most important jobs in the
world.
When the good Lord was creating Mothers ... He was into His sixth day
of "overtime." An angel appeared and said, "You're sure doing a lot of fiddling
around on this one!"
God nodded and said, "Yes, but have you read the specs on this order?
She has to be completely washable, but not made of plastic.
She has to have 180 moveable parts ... all replaceable.
She'll have to run on black coffee and leftovers.
She'll need a lap that disappears when she stands up.
She'll have to have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped finger
to a disappointed love affair. She will also need six pairs of hands."
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 and said, "One pair is to see through closed doors when
she asks, "What are you kids doing in there?" ... although she'll already
know.
She needs another pair here in the back of her head that can see the
things she shouldn't have to, but things that she has to know.
And of course, she'll need a set of eyes here in front that will be
able to look at a child when he goofs up. Those eyes will be able to say,
"I understand and I love you," without even muttering a word."
"Lord," said the angel touching God's sleeve gently, "You had better
go to bed. Tomorrow ..."
"I can't," interrupted the Lord. "I'm so close now to creating something
that is so much like myself, that I just can't stop.
I've already created one who can ... heal herself when she is sick,
feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger, and can get a nine-year-old
to stand under a shower."
Slowly, the angel circled and carefully looked at the model of a Mother.
"It's too soft!" the angel sighed.
"But she's tough!" said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what
this mother will be able to do or the things that she will be able to
endure."
The angel asked, "Can she think?"
"Not only can she think, but she will be able to reason and compromise,"
said the Creator.
Finally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the
mother. "There's a leak in her!" the angel pronounced. "I told you that you
were trying to put too much into this model."
"That's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear!"
"What's it for?" asked the angel.
The Lord said, "It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness,
love and pride."
"Wow! You're a genius!" said the angel.
The Lord looked somber and said, "But I didn't put it there!"
Mother's Day Links
Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. So one day he
asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am
I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be
waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child said, "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else
but sing and smile. That's enough for me to be happy. And how am I going
to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language
that men talk?"
God replied, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet
words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."
The child questioned, "And what am I going to do when I want to talk
to you?"
God replied, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."
The child said, "I've heard that there are bad men on earth. Who will
protect me?"
God replied, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her
own life."
The child said, "But I will always be sad because I will not see you
anymore."
God replied, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next
to you."
At that moment, there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth
could already be heard. The child, in a hurry, asked softly, "Oh God! If
I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God replied, "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply
call her MOMMY
I SAID
A MOTHER'S PRAYER FOR
YOU
I said a Mother's Day prayer for you
to thank the Lord above
for blessing me with a lifetime
of your tenderhearted love.
I thanked God for the caring
you've shown me through the years,
for the closeness we've enjoyed
in time of laughter and of tears.
And so, I thank you from the heart
for all you've done for me
and I bless the Lord for giving me
the best mother there could be!
May each one of you have a "Happy Mother's
Day"
