| | Of Mothers and Magnets
A second grade teacher gave her class a lesson that, among other
things, covered the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written
test, she included this question:
"My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?"
When
the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that
almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with this word:
M-o-t-h-e-r.
Though I can't deny that my mom has picked up after me on occasion, she has done and still does so much more
than that for me. Countless times she has done favors for me at
considerable expense of her time, energy, or sleep that were totally
undeserved. Her example has been one of the biggest (well, actually the biggest) influences in my
life. I admire her:
- love for God
- compassion on the underprivileged
- selflessness
- submission
- appetite for learning
- industriousness
- consistently positive outlook about life and people
- cheerful attitude
Thank you, Mommy!
