21 DAY'S TILL' CHRISTMAS! (AND STILL HAVEN'T SHOPPED YET)

This was sent to me from a friend today, and it made me smile.....I think I can relate to allot of the "mom" stages.....and look forward to the others:)

Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother.

The Images of a Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother's not as smart as me.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She has no clue!
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a mom is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a mom must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a mom is not in a facial mole, but true beauty is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a mom with passing years only grows!
