Thoughts for Tuesday


While sitting on the bus one day, I took a book out and was about to read. But I was distracted by a young woman behind me who was speaking on her cell phone. She was talking to her brother. She wanted to know where he was, why he wasn't where he was supposed to be, why he had lied to their mother again and did he know that their mum had broken down in tears that morning because of him. I never looked around. I just stared at the book in my hand - and the ten pound note I'd been using as a bookmark. When she left the bus, I got off behind her. "Excuse me," I said. "Do me a favor, would you? Take this money and buy your mom a box of chocolates or flowers. And tell her thank you!  And remind her that being a mother is the hardest but most important job in the world."

“A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”  -Tenneva Jordan. 

How many times in our lives have we had “mom” who said that?  They sacrifice, loving and care before we know it happened.  Express gratitude to your given or chosen mom today!
