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.<\/p>\n
Here is a tribute to mothers which I heard years ago, and wanted to share with you today.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
A mother is a curious mixture of patience, kindness, tolerance, understanding, discipline, industry, purity, and love.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
A mother is as gentle as a lamb, and as strong as a giant. Only a mother can appear so weak and helpless, and yet at the same time, can put the fruit jar cover on so tightly that even dad can’t get it off.<\/p>\n
A mother is a picture of helplessness when dad’s around, but a marvel of resourcefulness when she’s all alone.<\/p>\n
A mother has the angelic voice of a member of the celestial choir as she sings the Brahms Lullaby to a baby held tightly in her arms; and yet the same voice can dwarf the sound of an amplifier when she calls her boys in for supper.<\/p>\n
A mother has the fascinating ability to be almost everywhere at once, and she alone can somehow squeeze an enormous amount of living into an average day.<\/p>\n
A mother is old fashioned to her teenager. She’s just “mom” to the third-grader, and she’s “mamma” to the little two-year old. There’s no greater thrill in life than to point to that wonderful women and be able to say to all the world, “That’s my mother.”<\/p>\n
