So, last year I was really sick with the flu and I could
barely lift my head. My wife, Natalie, is a very attentive person but at one
point I remembered a commercial from one of the cold remedy companies where the
guy was in bed and called out to his wife “honey, call my mom”. Always the
smart aleck even on my death bed (I was later told that the term death bed was
rather over exaggerated), I called out “Natalie, call my mom!”
I look back over the years and, no disrespect to my dad, any
time I was hurt or sick I would always call out to my mom. Superstar athletes,
when the camera is on them, call out props to their moms. I have a plaque that
was given to me as a present years ago that says “A man loves his sweetheart
the most, his wife the best but his mother the longest.” There is a special
scent that mom’s put out, it’s a soothing scent that is odourless but when the
world seems to come crashing in, the mom scent combined with a calming word and
a comforting hug can make even the biggest problems melt away.
Mothers, grandmothers, step-mothers, mothers-in-law,
substitute mothers, foster mothers all deserve this special day. This Sunday we
celebrate one of God’s most precious gifts…our moms. May God bless them all
richly! Natalie MacDonald will be bringing the message this Sunday.
