Mother's Day Crown

To My Mom 
I made for you with special care, 
A priceless crown for you to wear. 
So put it on and you will see, 
A Royal Queen you will be! 
Wear it the whole day through, 
And I'll do whatever you ask me to. 
For I want to give a hand, 
to the BEST MOM in the land! 
Happy Mothers Day

Mother's Day (from Joni)
I got all these ideas from dltk-holidays.com.
 
If you want to know how to make the flower you can go to http://www.dltk-holidays.com/valentines/mvflower.html for instructions.
 
The card folds so the poem goes in the center, then have the children glue the heart flower together on to the front of the card and color.

HAND PRINT POEM 


Sometimes you get discouraged Because I am so small 
And always leave my fingerprints On furniture and walls. 
But everyday I'm growing- I'll be grown up someday, 
And all those tiny hand prints Will surely fade away. 
So here's a final hand print Just so you can recall 
Exactly how my fingers looked When I was very small. 

Hand poem. PDF

 

I miss you when we're not together

I'm growing up so fast

See how big I've gotten

Since you saw me last?

As I grow, I'll change a lot,

The years will fly right by.

You'll wonder how I grew so quick

When and where and why?

So look upon this hand print

That's hanging on your wall.

And memories will come back of me,

When I was very small.

An excerpt from the Ensign March 1998 

.....Nearby in the kitchen, a mound of dirty dishes waits for me in the sink. The laundry is not done, the carpet not vacuumed, the bathroom not scrubbed. Toys are strewn haphazardly all over the living room and kitchen floor. A pile of unpaid bills sits arrogantly on top of the bookcase, exerting silent authority. All of a sudden, the negative aspects of the moment seem to outweigh the positive. 

But it is really not so. I remind myself that I need to look beyond the temporally mists and regain my eternal vision of clarity. A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. 

There is perhaps nothing more delightful than the sound of a little child's laugh, nothing more earnest than a little child's inquiry for knowledge, nothing more genuine than a little child's hug, nothing more pure than a little child's love, and nothing more sacred than a little child's trust. 

Motherhood is not a burden to be borne; it is a privilege to be enjoyed. It is not a trial of endurance; it is a time of celebration! 

LOVE IN THE HOME 


If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in it's place, 
but have not love, I am a housekeeper - not a homemaker. 

If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, 
but have not love, my children learn cleanliness - not godliness. 

Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh. 
Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on the newly cleaned window. 

Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk. 
Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys. 

Love is present through the trials. 
Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive. 

Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the child, 
then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood. 

Love is the key that opens salvation's message to a child's heart. 

Before I became a mother I took glory in my house of perfection. 
Now I glory in God's perfection of my child. 

As a mother, there is much I must teach my child, but the 
greatest of all is love.

Other Quotes on Mother's
Sometimes, a stay-at-home mom can feel inadequate, overwhelmed,
overworked, and under-appreciated. The one thing I finally realized, as I
was doing other people's laundry, shopping for other people's things,
and cooking for everyone else, is that there is One other person who spent
all of His time serving others, and His life was the greatest and most
important of all. Being a mother is the perfect way to become more like
Him, and it's hard work. We're going to have days where we fail. We just
have to get back up and smile, knowing that we truly claim the most noble
profession of them all.
Motherhood is the symbol of love, in its highest and purest form.
Motherhood is the symbol of compassion, forgiveness, unselfishness,
patience, long-suffering, faith and fortitude. Motherhood is the cardinal
point in God's intelligent plan, the keystone of His glorious creation,
the purest channel of His magnificent handiwork. To revere motherhood is
to worship God. He who holds in his heart the greatest love, the highest
esteem and the deepest reverence for motherhood, walks closest to God.
-Harry Halsey Starett
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after
you've had a baby ...somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother,
"normal", is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct ...somebody
never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring ...somebody never rode in a
car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.

Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out 
good"
..somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ....somebody
never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf 
ball
through the neighbor's kitchen window.

Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother ...somebody
never helped a fourth grader with his math.

Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love
the first ...somebody doesn't have five children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing
questions in the books ...somebody never had a child stuff beans up
his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery
..somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day 
of
kindergarten ... or on a plane headed for military "boot camp"

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one
hand tied behind her back ...somebody never organized seven giggling
Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married
..somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in
-law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home
..somebody never had grandchildren.
"Men are what their mothers made them." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marriage and Motherhood are the best ways to truly have your patience
tried and stretched enough for perfection.
Love is a roller coaster. Motherhood is a whole amusement park. ~Cathy Guisewhite
...A mother is she who can take the place of all others, but whose place
no one else can take.

POSITION: Mother, Mom, Mama, Mommy 


JOB DESCRIPTION: Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required... 
RESPONSIBILITIES: The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility. 


POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT &PROMOTION: Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you 

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis. 

WAGES AND COMPENSATION: Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more. 

BENEFITS: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.
