Five Minute Friday: Motherhood should come with...

It is Friday and that means three things....1) Five minute fridays 2) staying up late 3) No annoying alarm clock....This weeks topic is "Motherhood should come with..." Well, how will I do this one since I am not a mother??? Have no idea...well I do have an idea so here it goes...(cough cough) I am doing my own twist...from a daughter's perspective and what I thought mother's HAD when I was growing up (which now that I am older I know they don't) and also my tribute to my mom----time to stop babbling and write (if you know me...well it takes me awile sometimes to get to my point).

Begin

My mom was a nurturer, provider, and my teacher. Mom and I had (and at times still have) our moments of dissagreement. I think its because mom and I are a lot of alike...high strung and dramatic. =) But growing up I always thought that the doctors and nurses and the pastor gave my mom books on "How To Bring Up Your Daugher" "How to Embarass Your Daughter" and "What Not to Do" Boy was I wrong. =)  Now just to let you know I am a bit witty sometimes and the previous sentence is my wittiness coming through--seriously.

I love my mom and would do anything for her---there were times I drove all the way from Florida to NC in one day to make sure mom was okay- My mom sacraficed a lot so I can get a good education and the things I needed. Several years would go by when I would get a new church dress and mom wouldn't because she wanted to make sure Beth and I had a nice Sunday dress. She would stay up late helping me with my homework. She would take the time to sew a button on a shirt or sew a rip in the seam of a dress. She took my black formal and added straps to it so I can wear it. She would stay at schoool late when I had ball pratice or a game. She made sure my tummy was full before going to bed. Mom introduced me to reading and taught me how to read (and for that I am very thankful)---she brought the Little House on the Prarie series of shows into my life and I have loved the series ever since. She would let me play in the rain and mud (making sure I was hosed off before).
But best of all MOM brought me to Christ and led me to the Lord on December 15, 1989. I love my mom and wish I could be in NC with her this weekend---
Oh can I add more thing although my times is up??? Mom dislikes traveling because of her fibromyalgia (sp?)--mom (and dad) are coming down next month to be with me when I have my surgery---=)

Mom I love you----Happy Mother's Day
The attached song is for YOU! (and for all the other moms out there too)
