| Just For Mom |
| A mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, and it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking. |
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4
An angel strolled out of heaven one beautiful day and winged its way to earth. On a quest for beauty, he wandered through both fields and cities beholding the glories of nature and the finest works of art. As sunset approached, he thought, What momento can I take back to show my heavenly friends the beauty of earth?
He noticed a patch of beautiful and fragrant wildflowers in the field where he was standing, and he decided to pluck them to make a bouquet. Then, passing a home, he saw through the open door a baby smiling from its crib. He took the smile with him, too. At another home, he saw through an open window a mother pouring out her love to her precious child as she stooped to kiss him "Goodnight." The angel decided to take the mother's love, too.
As the angel flew homeward through the pearly gates, he noticed to his astonishment that the flowers in his hand had withered. The baby's smile had changed into a frown. Only the mother's love remained as he had found it. He said to those who greeted him, "Here is the only thin I found today on earth that could retain its beauty and goodness all the way to heaven - the sweetness of a mother's love!" |
