Salute to the mother.......

My mom only had one eye. I hated her… She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.

How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, ‘EEEE, your mom only has one 

eye!’

I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, ‘ If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?’

My mom did not respond… I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.

Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, ‘How dare you come to my house and scare my children!’ GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!’

And to this, my mother quietly answered, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,’ and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

‘My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children.

I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see……..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.

I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,

Your mother.’

Power Of Now

Respect Woman...

A man was sick and tired of going to work everyday whilehis wife
stayed at home, he wanted his wife to see what he goes through and so he prayed;
"Dear Lord, I go to work all day and put in eight hours while my wife
stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please switch her body to mine for a day, as I take hers.
Amen!
So God in his own infinite wisdom
granted the man's wish.

The n

ext morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He cooked breakfast, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, feed them, pack their lunch, drovethem to school, came back home, picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaner, went to grocery shopping, drove home and put away the groceries, cleaned the cat's little box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1:00pm.
He quickly went to make the bed, do
the laundry, swept and mop the floor. Ran to school to pick up the
kids. Got into an argument with
one of them. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their home work.
Then set the ironing board and watched tv, while he did the ironing.
At 4.30pm, he began peeling potatoes and washed the vegetables for salad, breaded the
pork chop and snapped freshbeans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, put them to bed.
He's exhausted, and though his daily choice wasn't over, he went
to bed and was expected to make love which he managed to get through without complaints.
Early morning, he woke up and quickly knelt down by thebed and
said;"LORD, I don't know what I was thinking, I was wrong to envy my wife being able to stay hOme all day. Please let's trade
again.
Amen!
God answered; man I'd like toanswer your prayers, the time you made love, you got pregnant, so you have to wAit for nine months to change.

MORAL LESSON:
Respect the woman, they are the pillar of the house.
The woman are indeed endowed.
I LOVE U ALL.......

A WINDOW TO LOOK THROUGH by Brian G. Jett ©-1999

She watches through her window, her little girl at play. Memories flood back to her childhood, of her yesterdays

As she tucks her gift into bed, and kisses her precious face
She says a prayer of protection, "Lord keep my child safe."

And as days turn months into years, she sees her little girl grow
She begins to realize that a time will come, the time when she must let go

Suddenly she hears a gentle voice-- saying, "No greater love is this,
Than what you've done for your little girl, go seal it with a kiss."

"Honey I want to kiss your face, but I know I can't by phone
While looking through your bedroom window, I began to feel alone."

"So many days through this very window, I'd watch you laugh and play
And I can almost see you tucked in bed, on those nights we'd talk and pray."

"Mom," her daughter uttered, "There's something I want to say...
You may not know how many times, I saw you watch me play."

"That window that you're looking through, is the same one God looked in
He saw you by my bed each night, when you'd tenderly tuck me in."

"So mom please don't feel all alone, you know I'll always be there...
Just like God is with you now, no matter the time, or place or where."

Her mother paused and then replied, "Sweetheart I know you're right...
You're grown, married and have a child, that you now tuck in at night."

"Mom, I better go now, I have some things I better do."
Her mom replied, "I know it dear, you've got a window to look through."

Quote for the day

Promise me this, that you will not allow life to harden your heart because it will if you allow it.

Quotes on Woman

Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags.

CHARLOTTE BRONTE, Jane Eyre
