Moms – What Would We Do Without Them?


“Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.” (Prov. 31:10)


A man returned home from work one rainy afternoon and was shocked to find his three young children in the yard, still in pajamas, soaked and playing in the mud. Rushing into the house, he could hardly believe his eyes. The family room was cluttered with toys, coloring books, half-eaten snacks and dirty clothes. In the kitchen, cereal dotted the floor, syrup dripped from the counter, dishes filled the sink, and the refrigerator door was standing wide open.


He quickly ran upstairs, stumbling over toys and more dirty clothes. He was dismayed to see water trickling from the bathroom. Peering within he saw soaked towels, wet tissue, spilled shampoo and bath toys scattered on the floor. The counter and mirror were smeared  with toothpaste.


At this point he was certain that something was terribly wrong - his wife was obviously ill or possibly worse. As he dashed to the master bedroom, he was astonished to find his wife comfortably curled up in bed, reading a novel and snacking on popcorn. She glanced up, smiled, and cheerfully welcomed him home. Incredulously, he exclaimed, “What on earth is going on here?” She winked and calmly replied, “Honey, when you return from work each day, you always ask if I have done anything useful around the house. Well, today….I didn’t!”
*********************************************
Although fictional, the above story serves to remind us of the countless important things that mothers do that husbands and children frequently take for granted. Let’s make it a point to express gratitude to our moms for ALL THEY DO each day. What would we do without them? Now that is a frightening thought.
Jesus, always Jesus!Dennis
