A MOTHERS LOVE

A little boy came up
to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing
supper, and handed
her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom
dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:


For cutting the grass : $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week : $1.00
For going to the store for you : $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping : $.25
Taking out the garbage : $1.00
For getting a good report card : $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard : $2.00
Total owed : $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see
the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen,
turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me :

No Charge

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed
for you : No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused
through the years : No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries
I knew were ahead : No Charge

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose : No Charge

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is : No Charge

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there
were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and
said, "Mom,
I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big
letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".

Lessons to be learnt:

You will never how much your parents worth till you become a parent


Be a giver not an asker, especially with your parents. there is a lot to give,
besides money.


• IF your mom is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness. If
  she is far away, call her. if she passed away, pray for her.
  

"God bless my mother, all
that I am or ever hope to be I owe to her."
