Dear Friends,

Sunday is Mother’s Day. If you are like me, over the years I have gained an incredible appreciation for my mom and for her impact in my life. As I have gotten older, my mom has gotten wiser and wiser. Here’s a short article about the changing image of one’s Mom as a person ages.

The changing image of Mother

4-year-old: “My mommy can do anything!”
8-year-old: “My mom knows a lot! A whole lot!”
12-year-old: “My mother doesn’t really know quite everything.”
14-year-old: “Naturally, mom doesn’t know that, either.”
16-year-old: “Mom? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned.” 
18-year-old: “That old woman? She’s way out of date!” 
25-year-old: “Well, she might know a little bit about it.” 
30-year-old: “She’s smarter than she used to be.” 
  35-year-old: “Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.” 
  50-year-old: “Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?” 
                                                                  65-year-old: “Wish I could talk it over with Mom.”

As we celebrate Mother’s Day this week, let’s celebrate the gift that God has given in our
moms. Offer your mother the gift of love this Mother’s Day and every day.

In the Master’s service,

Steve
