Things Mothers Learn
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
 
 I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.
 I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to
lead you.
 I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
 I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot decide
for you.
 I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for
you.
 I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
 I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you
unselfish.
 I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to
show honor.
 I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose
them for you.
 I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you
pure.
 I can tell you about drink, but I can't say "no" for
you.
 I can warn you about drugs, but I can't prevent you
from using them. I
 can tell you about lofty goals, but I can't achieve
them for you. I
 can teach you about kindness, but I can't force you
to be gracious. I
 can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with
God. I can tell you
 how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life.

 When God Created Mothers...
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
 
 When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into
His sixth day  of "overtime" when the angel appeared
and said. "You're doing a lot  of fiddling around on
this one."   And God said, "Have you read the specs on
this order?" She has to be
 completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180
moveable parts...all  replaceable. Run on black coffee
and leftovers. Have a lap that  disappears when she
stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a 
broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six
pairs of hands."   The angel shook her head slowly and
said. "Six pairs of hands.... no  way."  "It's not the
hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, 
"it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to
have."  "That's on the standard model?" asked the
angel. God nodded.  "One pair that sees through closed
doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in
there?' when she already knows. Another here in the
back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what
she has to know, and of course the ones here in front
that can look at a child when he goofs up and say.  'I
understand and I love you' without so much as uttering
a word."  "God," said the angel touching his sleeve
gently, "Get some  rest tomorrow...."  "I can't," said
God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to
myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she
is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of
hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand under
a shower."  The angel circled the model of a mother
very slowly. "It's too soft,"  she sighed.  "But
tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this
mother can do or endure."  "Can it think?"  "Not only
can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said
the Creator. 
  Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger
across the cheek.  "There's a leak," she pronounced.
"I told You that You were trying to  put too much into
this model."  "It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's
a tear."  "What's it for?"  "It's for joy, sadness,
disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."  "You
are a genius, " said the angel.  Somberly, God said,
"I didn't put it there."
