You’re not gullible you’re a mom

You’re not gullible you’re a mom



My good friend Ruth

My heart

Goes out to

Her in many ways.

She used the tern

Gullible to describe

Herself in an e-mail she

Had written me today.



Ruth I’m here

To say you’re

NOT gullible

In anyway from

My point of you

You’re just being

A good mother

Like every woman whose

Ever given birth to

A child should do!



And you know

What the bible

Says “do unto others

As you would have them

do unto you”



So basically

God is saying

Treat others like

You always want

Be treated .

Even if it was

Your daughter who

Made you HOT

So to speak

Always treat

them with kindness

And generosity

With hopes they’ll

Do the same

If their were ever

To come a time

In your life

When you need

Somebody to lend

You a hand indeed.

So in answer to your

Question you’re not gullible

You’re just a friend and  GREAT mother

Indeed!

Hi Lory, here it is Wed morning 240 a.m. and I lost track time tonight after daughter and grandson left after supper. When I read your piece here and in guest book it brought tears to my eyes. Yes, my daughter can be extremely infuriating and frustrating to me at times but I could never let her go without as long as I had it in my power to give her things she needed. Who knows, maybe a kick in the butt once in a while too hahalol..Your piece touched me very deeply, I do try with her though I must admit it is trying at times. Thanks for your kind words..
