Very well Said Ship RR.
Motherhood is the highest calling a woman will ever know. I want to wish all the wonderful mothers here a blessed and happy Mother's Day. A mother will share Christian worship, love,and feelings, with one another and over the issues of life that involve other people. Proverbs 31: 26 “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Let me share with you what my mother taught me when she opened her mouth and spoke. I hope all you reading this will share a thing or two about your mother also.
My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE.: "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning the carpet."
My mother taught me LOGIC: " Because I said so, that's why."
My mother taught me CAUSE AND EFFECT: "Keep on crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."
My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION: "Just wait until we get home."
My mother taught me FORESIGHT: "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."
My mother taught me RELIGION: "You better pray I don’t tell your father what you did!”
My mother taught me THRIFT: She could make a $1.00 out of 15 Cents
My mother taught me DIGNITY: We lived below poverty level and yet set fashion trends.
My mother taught me FLEXIBILITY: She could go from the boardroom to the 'hood and "keep it real" in both places.
My mother taught me VOCABULARY: She would slap the taste for cuss words right out of your mouth.
My mother taught me DEPENDABILITY: She could work full time while finishing school, raising respectful and intelligent children, be active in the PTA, be the pastor's secretary, and the choir president and a make it all seem effortless.
My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL: "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!" carpet."
My mother taught me about JUSTICE: "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you”
My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE: "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."
Most of all, My mother taught me about JESUS: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

My Mom passed in ;96 and I miss her every day and talk with her often. Were it not for her I would not have learned many things in life. Important things like patience, fairness, and compassion, among many others. She also taught me how to cook and listened more than anyone I can remember. God got a good one when she left.
