If you give a Mom a minute,
she might just take a breath.
And though she could spend it on herself,
she will probably do laundry.
If you give a Mom a minute,
She might just take a bath,
but she will see the toilet,
and she will feel an incredible urge to start cleaning.
Give a Mom a minute,
and she might just eat some chocolate,
but it will taste so good that she will remember how much you like brownies,
and she will bake you some.
And when she bakes you some, it will be perfection.
But she might have to eat one herself just to be sure.
If you give a Mom a minute,
she will probably take a walk
or read a book,
or walk the dog, or read her Bible,
AND
If you give your Mom a minute,
her minutes become yours, because
you are never far from her thoughts
and are always in her prayers,
and giving Mom a minute will
show her that YOU care.
“Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.” Romans 12: 9-12
