Message On Mother’s Day

LETS ALL LOVE OUR MOTHERS NO MATTER HOW UGLY, AGED OR DISABLED THEY ARE. NEVER CALL YOUR OLD MOTHER A "WITCH". PASTORS MUST STOP FALSE PROPHECIES THAT OUR MOTHERS ARE WITCHES, IF THEY ARE then why didnt they bewitch us right in their wombs??? Huhhhh!!! FAKE PASTORS AND FAKE PROPHETS.......

My mom only had one eye. I hated her…
She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary
school where my mom came to say hello to
me. I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me? I ignored her,
threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”

I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only gonna

make me a laughing stock, why don’t you
just die?”
My mom did not respond… I didn’t even
stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was

oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have
nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.

Then, I got married. I bought a house of my
own. I had kids of my own. I was happy
with my life, my kids and the comforts.
Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t

even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children
laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her,

“How dare you come to my house and scare
my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”
And to this, my mother quietly answered,
“Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address.” – and she disappeared out

of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the

reunion, I went to the old shack just out of
curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not
shed a single tear. They handed me a letter
that she had wanted me to have.
“My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I

came to your house and scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming
for the reunion. But I may not be able to
even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry
that I was a constant embarrassment to you
when you were growing up.
You see……..when you were very little, you

got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a
mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.

I was so proud of my son who was seeing a
whole new world for me, in my place, with
that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.”

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY TO ALL MOTHERS.
LOVE YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS ALL MOTHERS
