HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM!
              
 FOR THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS: "AS A MOTHER
 COMFORTS HER CHILD, SO WILL I COMFORT YOU."
                         ( ISAIAH 66:13 *NIV )

      We can not measure the tremendous love that God
  has for His Children in human terms.  However, I do
  believe the closest thing on Earth to that great love, is
  the love a Mother has for her child!

      Therefore, on this day we honor that special lady in
  our life, our Mother.  So, LET YOUR FATHER AND YOUR
  MOTHER BE GLAD, AND LET HER WHO BORE YOU
  REJOICE, ( PROVERBS 23:25 )  and may she
  be filled with God's Love, Hope, Faith, and Peace today
  and everyday!

      The following was sent to me by one of my Sisters-
  In-Christ.  I feel that it is appropriate to
  share it with you today.  It is called:                    

Why are you crying, Mom?

 "Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom.  "Because I'm a
 woman" she told him.  "I don't understand," he said.  His
 Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will"..........

 Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother
 seem to cry for no reason?  "All women cry for no reason"
 was all his dad could say........

 The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering
 why women cry...

 Finally he put in a call to GOD; when GOD got on the phone
 the man said, "GOD, why do women cry so easily?"
 and GOD said.......

 When I made woman, she had to be special. I made her
 shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the World;
 yet, gentle enough to give comfort....

 I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the
 rejection that many times comes from her children......

 I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when
 everyone else gives up and take care of her family through
 sickness and fatigue without complaining......

 I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and
 all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very
 badly...

 This same sensitivity helps her to make a child's boo-boo
 feel better and shares in their teenagers anxieties and
 fears.......

 I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
 and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.....

 I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts
 his wife, but, sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve
 to stand beside him unfalteringly.....

 I gave her tears to shed. They are hers to use whenever she
 needs them.  They are her secret strength.  They make her
 more like ME.....
