母親節快樂

值得復習的好文
造物主創造的第一位母親

等到上帝創造第一位母親時，他已經超時工作進入第六天。一位天使出現了，問道：
“您為什麼花這麼長時間造這個人？”

上帝回答說：“你讀沒讀說明書？她必須是可洗的，但不是橡膠的；她有200個可活
動的零件，全部可以更換；她靠清咖啡和剩飯剩菜運轉；她的腿上可以同時坐上3個
孩子，而她站起身時，這腿又恢複正常長度；她的吻能治愈一切，從擦傷的膝蓋到
破碎的心；她還有6雙手。”

天使聽了大吃一驚。“6雙手！不可能！”他說。

上帝回答：“哦，手並不是難題。母親必須有3雙眼睛，這才是最難做的！”

“標准模型上是這樣的嗎？”天使問。

上帝點點頭，“是的。一雙眼睛能看穿緊閉的房門，盡管她已經知道，但她還是要
問孩子們在做什麼。另一雙眼睛長在後腦勺兒上面，能看到她需要的動靜，盡管沒
有人認為她能看得見。還有一雙眼睛在這裏，在頭部前邊兒，它們是用來關注一個
誤入歧途的孩子，盡管她默默無語，但那眼神表明她對這個孩子充滿了理解，充滿
了愛。

天使試圖讓上帝停下手中的活。“一天怎麼能幹這麼多活兒？等明天再完成吧。”


“不行！我不能停！”上帝抗議道，“我這就要完成這件作品了，它是那麼貼近我
的心。她生病的時候總能不藥而愈，而且，她能用一磅漢堡包喂飽一家6口人，還能
讓一個9歲男孩子乖乖地站在蓮蓬頭下淋浴。

天使靠近些，撫摸那女人，“但是，上帝，您把她做得如此柔軟。”

“她是柔軟，”上帝表示同意，“但是我也讓她堅強。你想像不出來她能夠忍受多
少，能夠成就多少。”

“她能思考嗎？”天使問。

上帝回答：“她不僅能思考，還能夠推理，能夠與人協商。”

這時天使注意到什麼，伸出手觸摸女人的面頰。“哎呀，她臉上好像有一個漏洞。
您試圖在這件作品中注入太多的東西。”

“那不是什麼漏洞，”上帝指出，“那是一滴眼淚！”

“眼淚有什麼作用！”天使問。

上帝說：“眼淚是她用來表達喜悅、悲哀、失望、孤獨、憂傷和驕傲的。”

天使被深深感動了。“上帝，您真了不起。您為這作品想到了一切。您甚至造出了
眼淚！”

上帝看著天使，露出微笑，說：“恐怕你又錯了。我造了女人，但眼淚卻是她自己
創造的！”

The Making Of A Mother
By the time the Lord made mothers, He was into the sixth day working
overtime. An Angel appeared and said "Why are you spending so much time on
this one?"

And the Lord answered and said, "Have you read the spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not elastic; have 200 movable parts, all
replaceable; run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold three
children at one time and that disappears when she stands up; have a kiss that
can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart; and have six pairs of
hands."
The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. "Six pairs of
hands! No way!", said the Angel.
The Lord replied, "Oh, it's not the hands that are the problem. It's the
three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!"
"And that's on the standard model?" the Angel asked.
The Lord nodded in agreement, "Yep, one pair of eyes are to see through
the closed door as she asks her children what they are doing even though she
already knows. Another pair in the back of her head is to see what she needs to
know even though no one thinks she can. And the third pair is here in the front of
her head. They are for looking at an errant child and saying that she
understands and loves him or her without even saying a single word."
The Angel tried to stop the Lord "This is too much work for one day. Wait
until tomorrow to finish."

"But I can't!" The Lord protested, "I am so close to finishing this creation
that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND
can feed a family of six on a pound of hamburger and can get a nine year old to
stand in the shower."
The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, "But you have made her
so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have
no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?" asked the Angel.
The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to
reason, and negotiate."
The Angel then noticed something and reached out and touched the
woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like You have a leak with this model. I told You
that You were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak." the Lord objected. "That's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the Angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her
disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, her grief, and her pride."

The Angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of
everything for this one. You even created the tear!"
The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are
wrong again. I created the woman, but she created the tear!"

***********************************
Yes, with tears, our mother carried us in her womb for nine months and
ten days, with tears she gave birth to us, with tear she cries whenever we fall,
and with the same tears she share the joy of our rise. I haven’t answered: What
should we do to appreciate our mother after we know all the pain that our mother
has gone through? My friends, give our mother tears! Tears of joy, proud tears
that we have been her good children; that in the end, all the pain is worth it.
Friends, mothers, Happy Mother’s Day!
