THE GIFT OF FAMILY (3) MOTHERS HELP GOD A mother made an appointment with her childs paediatrician. She complained that her son had eaten dirt on several occasions. To the doctor, she said, Ive always heard that if a child eats dirt, there is some deficiency. Do you think his dirt-eating indicates a lack of something? The doctor replied, Yes—very definitely. A lack of supervision! A little boy who had heard from his mother that it was God who made people good, replied, Yes, I know it is God, but mothers help a lot. It is a great compliment to a woman to have a great son. I remember an incident that took place at a certain village, which impressed this upon my mind as nothing else could. A young man was to graduate who stood at the head of his class, and received many honours. He was of humble parentage. It had cost quite a good deal of struggle and sacrifice on the part of his parents to keep him at school. When he delivered his graduating speech, his old mother, with her sunbonnet on, sat just in front of him. No sooner had he finished speaking, and received his medal, than he stepped down off the platform, went and placed his arms around his mothers neck, and pinned his medal on her dress. Someone said to her, as they went out of the hall: I know you are proud of your boy. Ah, yes, said the young man, but not half so proud as he is of his mother! Beloved, back in the day, in Africa, our mamas first priority was their family. No mama was so busy pursuing money that they could not invest time in the development of their kids. Why arent mothers of today just as committed? WISDOM NUGGET: Proverbs 23; 22 - 25 Listen with respect to the father who raised you, and when your mother grows old, don’t neglect her...Parents rejoice when their children turn out well; wise children become proud parents. So make your father happy! Make your mother proud! Let us pray: Father indeed help us, in this generation to honour ourmothers and fathers in Jesus name.
