Chaplain's Corner - Mother's Day
In honor of this special day, I’d like to propose a spin-off TV show similar to “Survivor”:
- 6 men will be dropped on an island with 1 van and 4 kids each, for 6 weeks.
- Each kid plays two sports and either takes music or dance classes.
- There is no access to fast food.
- Each man must take care of their 4 kids, keep their assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry, etc.
- The men only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done, and none of the TV's have remotes.
- The men must shave their legs and wear makeup daily, which they must apply themselves either while driving or while making four lunches.
- They must attend weekly PTA meetings, clean up after their sick children at 3 a.m., make an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a 4-year-old to eat a serving of peas.
- The kids vote them off based on performance.
- The winner gets to go back to his old job.
Mother’s Day is when we take the time to honor the one human being who unselfishly gives herself to her children time and time again, without asking for anything in return.
Since the time of Eve, it has fallen to mothers to raise their children for the Lord. Our mothers bring us into the world.
They nurture us. They provide for us. They raised us up. They teach us. They discipline us. Mothers have a remarkable ability to change the world through their children.
If your life has been blessed by the touch of a godly mother, then you have enjoyed one of this world’s greatest treasures and blessings.
Proverbs 31:10 – Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
