Mothers

Song on laptop: Lean on me by i seriously dunno who :P

 

                                      God’s Masterpiece Is Mother

                                   God took the fragrance of a flower…
                                           The majesty of a tree…
                                      The gentleness of morning dew…
                                             The calm of the sea…
                                     The beauty of the twilight hour…
                                          The soul of a starry night…
                                    The laughter of a rippling brook…
                                         The grace of a bird in flight…
                                  Then God fashioned from these things
                                             a creation like no other,
                                  And when the masterpiece was through,
                                        He called it simply-MOTHER
                                               -Herbert Farnham-

         

                 All these years,to me Mothers’ day is just another normal day but the only difference is,on this very day we honour our mother and let her know how much u love her…It never occured to me,why the heck did people created such a day as this?Must we wait for one particular day in a year to express our thankfulness and show how much we love our mother???Thats why i never took this very day seriously….Til i started staying away from home…That is when i started to appreciate my mom more,in fact,its when i started appreciating my family more…its because of them, im here today….Like people always say,when u cant have sumthing anymore,that is when u realize how important is it to you…So by staying away from home,i make sure i do not miss mothers’ day or fathers’ day…
          Today as i sat in church today and when i received a sms from one of my local friends,he told me how he is celebrating mothers’ day…For some reason,at that very moment as i was reading it,i suddenly felt sooo homesick….suddenly i missed my mom sooo much…The longing to see her and to hear her voice,to tell her how much i love her,pains me sooo much that i started to shed tears…haha….(i hope no one noticed!)Every year,at home,my brothers and I make it a point to make breakfast for our mom,even when most of the time i wont wake up early enough to help my brothers but,ahem,the thought is there…and i as the big sister would make either lunch or dinner for here….We dont really celebrate it in large scale coz my mom’s bday will be around the corner too…My mother never expects anything from us but yet,its so fulfilling to see the smile on her face when she comes down from her room to find breakfast all ready for her…and the smile on her face when we all wish her ‘happy mother’s day’….
         As i think about how much my mom cares for me,it really put me to shame to realize how imperfect i am as a daughter…Being a rebellious daughter,i am always refusing to listen to my mom’s advice and would fight back whenever she is scolds me as a gesture of ’self-defence’…I remember once,both of us got into a terrible fight,up to the point that my mom,broke down and cry…and she even threaten to leave the hse…I really have no idea why and how can i be so cruel then…i didnt even apologize to her as i most probably think i was not wrong…and i knew that no matter what,my mom will still forgive me and she will still love me and forget bout it…and i was right,no matter how many times i argued with her or how many times i made her sad,she will be the first person to console me and she still showed me so much love,love that i sometimes do not deserve…But its through her persevered love that slowly changed me and moulded me to learn how to be a more graceful person  and a less rebellious person.To be the person i am today…
           I used to take things for granted when i was in the comfort of my home,til i started  going to another state to stay.My parents are the people who always supported me in everything i do,constantly reminding me how much they love me and that they are always praying for me….In my 1st few months in ktt,i was really depressed and the terrible Celcom line made things worst…there was hardly any coverage in my room and the line was always cut off when im on the phone…So one day,i was soooo depressed and i was soooo homesick that i practically cried like a baby while talking to my mom(I very seldom cry in front of my parents) and she became so worried bout me that a few days after that incident,a parcel came for me from home and inside was a MAXIS sim card(coz maxis had better coverage in my college) That very moment i was sooo touched by that gesture,it made me cry like a pig again…haha…

                                 
                                               Mother’s Love

                                        Her love is like an island,
                                     In life’s ocean, vast and wide
                                         A peaceful, quiet shelter
                                 From the wind,the rain and the tide
                                     ‘Tis bound on the North by Hope
                                         By Patience on the West
                                    By Tender Counsel on the South
                                          And on the East by Rest
                                      Above it like a beacon of light
                                     Shine Faith, and Truth and Prayer
                                    And tru’ the changing scences of life,
                                            I find a haven there.

                The author of my anatomy book,BD Chaurasia said in one of his topics that ’since God cant be everywhere,He created Mothers’….Despite the fact that God is omi-presence(He can be everywhere) but we can never deny the fact that Mothers are like jewels,a gift from God…Someone He created to show us love,like the way He loves us…have u wonder why is it that even how badly u acted,ur mom still never fail to show u unconditional love?Well coz mothers are created in the image of God,to show unconditioned love…:)And because of that we must always HONOUR OUR FATHER AND MOTHER(one of the 10 commandments)I didnt do much for mothers’ day this year…i sent her a mothers’ day card cum birthday card 2 weeks ago and i called her today….but its funny that i didnt have to guts to tell her how much i missed her…i guess i am never good in becoming all mushy mushy to my family members…hehe….but im sure she knows that i love her!Many words cant express the way i feel for her but im sure she knows deep down that i can never be more grateful to have a mother like her…Tho there are times when i do wish that i have a ‘better’ mother but thruthfully speaking, no one can replace my mom nor is there anyone on the surface of this earth is better than her…:)

                                       

LOVE U MOM!!!

Kidsclub_097my mom and I during mothers’ day last year

‘ A wife of noble character who can find?
     She is worth far more than rubies;
She is clothe with strenght and dignity;
     She can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks of wisdom,
     and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
     and does not eat bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
     her husband also,and he praises her:
   "many women do noble things,
       but u surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
    and let her works bring praise at the city gate.’

Proverbs 31:10, 25-31
