MOTHER’S DAY, WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS?
What is all this noise about Mother’s Day? Why are people breaking their necks to celebrate this made up holiday? All your mother ever did for you was:
*Carry your butt for nine months while being your sole source of survival.
*Provide immediate nutrition at her bosom the minute you were born.
*Change your smelly diaper after you messed all over yourself.
*Protect you from dangers that you never even knew existed.
*Be your first teacher about being Careful, being Fair, being Honest, and being
Responsible.
*Be the first person to Love you unconditionally.
So now you pick one day out of 365 to buy the flowers, the candy, the necklace, the dinner that the advertisers tell you to buy so that your mother is celebrated appropriately.
This is what your really mother deserves. She deserves to be able to say her prayers at night and be able to thank the Lord for a child that is Responsible, Caring, Safe, and Happy. A child that does the Right Thing, because it’s the Right Thing to do. Your mother loves you unconditionally, and always will. So be worthy of that love by simply being a better child, a better citizen, a better person. Instead of making the flower companies and the phone companies rich one day a year, make your mother Proud Everyday. Do that, and Everyday will truly be your Mother’s Day.
