God knew exactly what he was doing when he put together a marvelous creature we now know as Mother. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story apprenticed to a mother with four or five kids. Let him follow her around for a week, if he can last a week, and he will get some idea of what working is all about. Let some politician clean up after four or five kids for a week and experience real work. Perhaps, if he has to clean up messes of other people's making he might think twice before he makes a mess himself. The only work a politician really does, is working his mouth, which rarely accomplishes anything useful. By her very nature, a mother is always thinking about others. Rarely does she take any time for her own personal pursuits. Other people come before her interest and comfort. Wouldn't that be a wonderful trait in some politician? Instead of always thinking about the next election and what can get him reelected, he begins to think about other people and their needs. Instead of putting his political career ahead of everything else, he would sacrifice himself to benefit other people, to help clean up the messes around him. Although it may seem like a good idea, we cannot afford to send mothers to Washington and neglect the important work she has at home. Nehemiah said it so well, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?" (Nehemiah 6:3). God knew exactly what he was doing when he put together a marvelous creature we now know as Mother. Tweet
