Honoring...

Last night at the bible study I go to we were learning about honoring our mom. We hear a lot about obeying them, but not enough about honoring them. They are special dont forget it. Here is a little story that I thought you all would enjoy!

A 14 year old boy walked into the kitchen where his mom was making supper. He slapped down a piece of paper on the counter and sat down at the table. When his mother finished her work she went over and picked it up. This is what it read:

What I did: Amount owed:
Mowed the lawn: $10
Did the dishes: $ 5
Cleaned my room: $ 7.50
Vacuumed the carpet: $ 5
Cleaned the Garage: $ 10
Total Amount due: $37:50


The mother finished reading it aand then picked up a pencil and started writing. She finished and set it back down on the counter. The boy curious, rose and picked it up. Here is what it said:

What I did: Amount owed:
Gave birth to you: Free of charge
Changed your smelly Diapers: Free of charge
Potty trained you: Free of charge
Fed you: Free of charge
Taught you how to read: Free of charge
Much, much more: Free of charge
Total Amount due: $0.00

The boy quickly pulled out his pen and turning the paper over wrote : PAID IN FULL

Then he turned to his mother, gave her a hug and whispered “I love you”

Don't forget to tell your mom how much you love her! ( It can apply to your father as wel!)Rachel
