MOTHER'S LOVING RELATIONSHIP
Reminder of a mother's greatest love
A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass--$5.00
For cleaning up my room this week--$1.00
For going to the store for you--.50c
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping--.25c
Taking out the garbage--$1.00
For getting a good report card--$5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard--$2.00
Total owed--$14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge
Additional Details
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years:
No Charge
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
NO CHARGE.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".
The Lord knows when you add it all up,
THE COST OF REAL LOVE IS NO CHARGE.
Love can and does come in all forms but mothers never stop loving their children no matter what they may do or say. The unconditional love of a mother is something so powerful that it cannot be replicated from any other person. And thus . . . . .
MOTHER’S DAY TRULY OCCUR 365 DAYS A YEAR!
Warmest regards,

NOTE: For all of you who are blessed to have this amazing and selfless gift, appreciate, be grateful and thank your mom for it right now. For those of you who do not, celebrate that you are here and thank her for that. You always have the power to learn from a loss and do better with your own children.
So go ahead and give your mom the most powerful, memorable and life-affirming gift of all. Best of all it’s free, and good for the soul too. Give her the gift of love. Make her feel special and honored through kind words and deeds. Simply put, a mom deserves to be recognized and appreciated (and not just on Mother’s Day) for her contribution of blood, sweat and tears in transforming our lives. Give sincere gratitude to your mom (every day) for the simple reason that she is truly a home goddess and the unsung hero in our lives.

 Why are you crying, a young boy 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, but that's O.K.".......
Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does Mom 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 and when God got back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily?"
GOD answered......
"When I made woman,
I decided she had to be special.
I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry
the weight of the world, yet,
made her arms gentle enough to give comfort...
I gave her the inner strength
to endure childbirth
and the rejection
that many times will come
even from her own children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, 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 badly....
She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears....
I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I 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....
For all of this hard work,
I also gave her a tear to shed.
It is hers to use whenever needed and it is her only weakness....
When you see her cry,
tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though
she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.
Love your Mother Always
and keep her Smiling because
SHE IS SPECIAL!
