A little boy came up to his
mother in the kitchen one evening while she
was fixing supper, and he 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:
$14.75
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 up 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".
Moms are a blessing to all of us, remember that! Have a great day and don't forget to smile!
