MOTHER
A Tribute to Mothers
Make sure you show the women in your life how much you appreciate them today. And not just today, but every day! They do so much for all of us.
Here is a tribute to mothers which I heard years ago, and wanted to share with you today.
MOTHER
by
Fred Cruz
Somewhere between the youthful energy of the teenager and the golden twilight years of a women’s life, there lives a marvelous and loving person known… as mother.
A mother is a curious mixture of patience, kindness, tolerance, understanding, discipline, industry, purity, and love.
A mother can be at one and the same time, both love lore and counselor to a heart-sick daughter, and a head football coach to an athletic son.
A mother can sew the tiniest stitch in the material for that dainty prom dress, and she is equally experienced in threading through the heaviest of traffic with a large station wagon.
A mother is the only creature on earth who can cry when she’s happy, laugh when she’s heartbroken, and work when she’s sick.
Lighten Up!
Sometimes we just need to lighten up.
I don’t now about you, but sometimes I can get so caught up in Bible Study and Theology that I forget to laugh and smile. So I really appreciate this month’s Synchroblog theme about lightening up and having fun.
And rather than write a serious post about why we should lighten up, I just decided to post a few things that I hope will make you laugh.
Enjoy!
Here is one of my favorite parking videos of all time. But just so everyone knows… my wife is a GREAT driver.
How to Avoid God
The avoiding, in many times and places, has proved so difficult that a very large part of the human race failed to achieve it. But in our own time and place it is extremely easy.
Avoid silence, avoid solitude, avoid any train of thought that leads off the beaten track. Concentrate on money, sex, status, health and (above all) on your own grievances. Keep the radio on. Live in a crowd. Use plenty of sedation. If you must read books, select them very carefully, but you’d be safer to stick to the papers. You’ll find the advertisements helpful; especially those with a sexy or snobbish appeal.
