A MOTHERS
LOVE
A little boy came up to
his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed
her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands
on an apron, she read it, and this is
what it said :
For
cutting the grass : $ 5.00
For
cleaning up my room this week : $ 1.00
For
going to the store for you: $50
Baby-sitting
my kid brother while you went shopping :$25
Taking
out the garbage : $ 1.00
For
getting a good report card : $ 5.00
For
cleaning up and raking the yard : $ 2.00
Total
owed : $ 89
Well, his mother looked
at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her
mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is
what she wrote :
For the nine months I carried you while you
were growing inside me :
NO
CHARGE
For all the nights
that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you :
NO
CHARGE
For all the trying
times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years :
NO
CHARGE
For all the nights
that were filled with dread and for the worries I knew were ahead :
NO
CHARGE
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose :
NO
CHARGE
Son,
when you add it up, the cost of my love is
:
NO
CHARGE
When the boy finished
reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he
looked straight at his mother and said , “ Mom, I sure do love you.” And then
he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote : “ PAID IN FULL “

I hardly remembered the
beautiful times with my mom. We have a bad relation. Since I was born, I was
moved and taken care by my aunt. Never forget that..... I never get the answer
why my mother had to do that to me, even I’m her youngest child. During my
teenager, I never felt mother’s love. The thing that I remembered was only my
duty for the house-works. It was a must or I’d get the punishment!!!! The most
beautiful moment came to my life was when I got marriage with someone whom I
really love...but again, my mother couldn’t accept our marriage and she did one
thing that I never forget until right now. I always try not to have a revenge
in my heart, I always try to make myself understand about what had happened, I
always try to get the positive sides from all those happened. I always try...
One thing that makes me
able to go through these situations is being a mother. That was a miracle for
me. When doctors said that I could hardly get my pregnancy because of the cyst,
God made me become a mom... and today I’m the mother with one beautiful and
smart daughter.
I never want to write
like the mother’s quotation above, because I know that my only daughter never
write such a thing. She really knows that all things happen around our life are
because of the LOVE of GOD.
Hope everyone who reads
this story will have a good relation with their mom.

Thank You, LORD for being my shepherd “
