What to do when you don't have a Mother's Day gift (because you're broke)

Yup! It is once again Mother's Day. I remember the days when I was broke as a joke and Mother's Day rolled in. After about a few years of being broke (to a point where I can't even buy her flowers), I learned how to be CREATIVE!

Here are a few things you can do to make yo Mama smile and make her feel proud she has a child like you.

1. Clean the house, wash the dishes, water her plants, and (not or) the laundry- Any day that your Mom can take a break from these things already made her day!
2. Cook her breakfast in bed- A way to a man's heart is through his stomach...it is also true with Moms (Do not attempt this if you don't know how to cook. It'll ruin Mother's Day for her. Just go straight to #3)

3. Make her a homecard, a portrait, or anything artistic- This gives you a chance to show off your talent and how an investment in those magic markers can do wonders. And if it comes out ugly, don't worry! She's your Mom!

4. Say something nice to your Mom like "Mom, you're the best! I love you!"- Waterfalls will instantly come out of her eyes...guaranteed! Unless you've used that as a line before to get extra cash from her then go to #5.

5. Go to a friend's or neighbor's house who has a garden and ask if you can pick some flowers- Women and flowers are like ham on burgers (hamburgers).

6. Lastly, PRAY FOR YOUR MOM!- But don't just do it on Mother's Day. Do it everyday! Pray that God will bless her and give her good health. She will value that more than anything!

Mom, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! You are one of the reasons why I came back to God. Everything that you taught me about God, it was etched in my heart. Thank you for never giving up on me. I hope that I made you proud by serving our God fulltime. I love you so very much!

i know it's late for Commenting cos the Mother's day was over but
anyway, it's not only on mother's day or father's day that we should honor our parents but everyday of our life by alot of ways...
Loving them and treating them w/ respect though we have things that we don't like them doing still our parents know's best becos they have Special Wisdom fr. God for Parenting that we children don't have....one of the things i really want to thank God is, He made me realized how important my mother in my life from then on i learned to see her value and i praise God cos it's not too late for me to let my mom feel it.....I Love you my mom and you are a real blessing to us......your the best!!!
