The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on.  It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.

 

POSITION OPENING:  Mother, Mom, Mama, Mommy, Ma

JOB DESCRIPTION:  Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment.   Candidates must possess excellent communication and  organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities. Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES:  The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls and the internet, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION: Virtually none. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

EARLIER EXPERIENCE:  None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually fatiguing basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION:  Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could do more.

BENEFITS: While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for life if you play your cards right.

All the Moms we know should receive a copy of this article in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis.  We each should let them know they are appreciated

 

One of the best things that a parent can do for a child is to set a good, no - better than that, great example before them by honoring the Creator God and all that His Book (Bible) teaches.  There is ample information in it for a great marriage as well as a great family.

 

   Plainly, don’t get short changed.  Let’s be ready to meet our Maker.  The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

 

 

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31)  2) Repent Of Sins  (17:30)  

3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37)  4) Be Baptized In  Water (2:38)  

5) Live A  Christian Life (14:22)   6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
