"What is a Mother"

A Mother is..... the DENTIST who uses a string.
the SUNSHINE on a cloudy day.
the STORY TELLER when you can't get to sleep.
the HAIR STYLIST on the night of the prom.
the DOCTOR who cures poison ivy.
the TEACHER who teaches about life.
the SEAMSTRESS who patches torn jeans.
the COMEDIAN who makes you laugh when you're down.
the CHEERLEADER at all sports activities.
the NURSE who bandages a scraped knee.
the ARTIST who teaches finger painting.
the LAUNDRY LADY who keeps you dressed so nice.
the BAKER who makes chocolate chip cookies.
the TUTOR who helps with homework.
the COUNSELOR who gives guidance.
the CLEANING LADY who finds the bedroom floor.
the TOOTH FAIRY who rewards you for your pain.
the HEALER of your first broken heart.
the CHAUFFEUR for all social events.
the DISHWASHER who never complains.
the SELF-ESTEEM BUILDER for everyone.
the COOK who keeps the meals balanced.
the DREAM CATCHER who helps find dreams.
the KLEENEX that dries the tears.
the KEY that unlocks the door to the future.
the JUDGE who makes decisions with wisdom.
the PARTY PLANNER who makes you popular.
the SINGER who taught childhood songs.
the LIGHT that guides through dark moments.
the EGO BUILDER, picking you up when you're down.
the DRUGGIST who knows the cure for your pain.
the PRAYING HANDS that guide spiritually.
the GUARDIAN ANGEL who keeps you safe.
the FRIEND who puts real meaning into "I Love You"!

"Deck of Cards"

It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, and land mines for some reason hadn't been heard.

The young soldier knew it was Sunday.

As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk.

Just then an army sergeant came in and said, "Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?"

The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord."

The sergeant said, "Looks to me like you're going to play cards."

The soldier said, "No, sir. You see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards."

The sergeant asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?"

"You see the Ace, Sergeant? It reminds me that there is only one God.

The Two represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments.

The Three represents the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The Four stands for the Four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The Five is for the five virgins there were ten, but only five of them were glorified.

The Six is for the six days it took God to create the Heavens and earth.

The Seven is for the day God rested after making His Creation.

The Eight is for the family of Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives - the eight people God spared from the flood that destroyed the Earth.

The Nine is for the lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy. He cleansed ten, but nine never thanked Him.

The Ten represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on tablets /made of stone.

The Jack is a reminder of Satan, one of God's first angels, but he got kicked out of heaven for his sly and wicked ways and is now the joker of eternal hell.

The Queen stands for the Virgin Mary.

The King stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all kings.

When I count the dots on all the cards, I come up with 365 total, one for every day of the year.

There are a total of 52 cards in a deck; each is a week - 52 weeks in a year.

The four suits represent the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Each suit has thirteen cards - there are exactly thirteen weeks in a quarter.

So when I want to talk to God and thank Him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and they remind me of all that I have to be thankful for."

The sergeant just stood there. After a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?"

Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
