Mother's Day

Today the kindergarten class got to make Mother's Day cards.  As I was watching them work hard on coloring the cards and writing the words they wanted to say to their mom it just reminded me of how important mom's are at any age. 

One little boy who we very seldom can get to write anything, asked me to write something on his card for his mom.  I told him I would write it in pencil and then he could trace it in marker.  I asked what he wanted me to write, it was simple but says it all "I love you Mommy."  I happily wrote it for him and he carefully traced the letters to make his card complete.

I was also privelged to have some of the cards read to me, slowly and phonetically one little boy wrote "Mom yuo are the bst mom evr I love yuo vere much."  He wrote that and some very similiar thoughts on all 4 pages of the card.

One little boy asked for a book that the teacher had read about Mother's Day.  He wanted it so he could copy the poem for his mom.  He sat for twenty minutes copying the poem and writing very neatly.  After he copied the poem he drew some nice pictures on his card.

A little girl painstakingly went through all of the stickers available for the cards to find a bunny sticker.  She could not find the bunny sticker she wanted so she walked around the class and found a little boy who had gotten the bunny sticker, she did a major trade in order to get her bunny sticker for her card.  Her mommy likes bunnies.

I usually don't disagree with the teacher, but today I had to disagree with her.  She wrote on the board "You are the best Mom ever."  I told her that the kids mom's could not be the best Mom ever, because my Mom is the best Mom ever.  She laughed and said that could not be true because her mom is the best mom ever.

If you have to send a card that has the words you want to say, find that special sticker (present) or do something that you really don't like to do to show your mom that you love her and that she is the best mom ever, your mom will love it just as much as she did when you were in kindergarten.  As you do that just remember that my Mom IS the bestest Mom ever!!!

Proverbs 31:31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
