When God Created Mothers

Erma Bombeck was a popular writer about suburban family life. In her witty style, she has shared  “When God Created Mothers”

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 God 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.”

The angel shook her head slowly and said. “Six pairs of hands…. no way.”

It’s not the hands that are causing me problems,” God remarked, “it’s the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have.”

That’s on the standard model?” asked the angel. God nodded.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT A MOTHER?

As Mother’s Day approaches. I keep remembering my mom…things she did…things she said…and her love. If you are fortunate enough to still have your mother in your life, celebrate her. Let her know how much you love and appreciate her.

My mom made sure, as I was growing up, that I had everything I needed and most of the things I wanted. I took piano lessons as a young child all the way through high school. I had a piano and when I wanted to join the band, I got a flute and saxophone. Looking back, I realize mom and dad weren’t wealthy and they most likely did without things they wanted for themselves for me!!

Ladies Are Special Every Day!

This is a special time of the year when we honor mothers—shouldn’t we be doing that every day? I believe ladies (whether they are mothers are not) have special abilities to nurture, encourage and just care about their worlds (families, neighbors, friends……) and make a huge difference.

We are all aware that men and women have many differences and we celebrate those differences. I thought you might like to read a few fun facts I discovered about these differences—many we already know!!
