Why Mothers CryA Special InspirationalStory for Mothers Day

"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom.

"Because I'm a mother," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His mom just hugged him and said, "You never will!"

Later the little boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for no reason.

"All mothers cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why mothers cry. So he finally put in a call to God and when God got on the phone the man said, "God, why do mothers cry so easily."
God said, "You see son, when I made mothers they had to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from their children.

I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of their families through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances, even when their child has hurt them very badly. This same sensitivity helps them to make a child's boo-boo feel better and helps them share a teenager's anxieties and fears.

I gave them a tear to shed. It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it's needed.
It's a tear for mankind."

In a home full of testosterone I have to take a minute or two for a good cry every now and again. I will not feel bad about it anymore, because I know Heavenly Father gave us the sensitivity for a reason. So now I will just have a good cry when I feel like it. I think all mother's should be able to do that every now and again.
Mackay asked me why I cry when I am happy and when I am sad. At the moment I didn't have a good answer for him except for telling him that I was moved by the spirit.
So cry on if you feel like it -- Cry on!
