I know this is a bit premature but I am going to be very busy this weekend.
I have to preach a sermon in my church Sunday. I wrote this for the children's
message (I plan to have all the mothers there too). What do you think?
Mother's Message
Okay, now for something a little different. Every Sunday all the kids get to sit up front
and the moms have to sit in the back. Today the moms get to sit up front. So, will all the
moms come on up?
I did it. I cracked the Mom Code. Forget the DaVinci Code. This code is really important.
There are 5 words in the Mom Code: WELL IF I DON'T BE
They say WELL all the time, because they want you to be well.
Well, well, what are you going to do now?
Well, wait till your father gets home!
Well, money doesn't grow on trees, you know.
Well, let me kiss it and make it better.
They tell you to BE careful, because they want to take care of you.
Be careful not to slam the doors.
Be careful with those scissors.
Be careful around strangers.
Be careful what you wish for; you might get it.
They say IF a lot, because they are always thinking ahead for your sake.
If you're quiet, you must be up to something.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
If your friends all jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?
If I had talked to your grandmother the way you talk to me...
They say DON'T all the time, but they do it because they do love you.
Don't sit too close to the TV, it will ruin your eyes.
Don't run with a lollipop in your mouth.
Don't swim right after eating.
Don't start anything you don't plan to finish.
They say I a lot, but they say it because they are thinking about you.
I mean business...
Because I said so, that's why...
I'm only doing this for your own good.
I can't wait until you're a parent some day.
As long as I'm around, I'll be your mother.
It's no secret. God gave us mothers for our own good. So let us be good to them.
Let's pray. God, thank you for the gift of mothers. Thank you for using them to show
us your love and for protecting our children. Thank you for their presence, their caring,
and their mercy.
