Chapter 100 When God Created Mothers
[US] Emma Benbeck
You can't even imagine how capable she is, and how much patience she has!

The merciful God has been working overtime to create mothers.On the sixth day, the angel came to the Lord and reminded him, "You have spent so much unnecessary time on this!"

The Lord said to the angel: "Have you read the technical requirements for this order? She must be able to withstand any washing, but not plastic; have 180 moving parts, which can be replaced at will; rely on espresso without milk and sugar and Running on leftovers; having knee joints that won't bend when standing; having a kiss that quickly heals wounds and ailments, from broken bones to broken love. Plus, she must have 6 hands..."

The angel shook his head slowly and said, "6 hands...how is this possible?"

"It's not the hands that trouble me," God replied, "but the three pairs of eyes that she must have."

"But," said the angel, "this standard was not mentioned in the order..."

"Yes, but she needs it." The Lord nodded and said, "She needs a pair of eyes that can see through the closed door, and then she can ask confidently, 'Children, what are you doing in there?' Another pair of eyes will be on the back of her head, to see what she is not supposed to see but must know. Of course, she will also have a pair of eyes under the forehead. To be able to look at him, without having to speak, to be able to articulate, 'I understand you and love you'."

"It's too difficult," the angel advised, "Lord, you should rest, tomorrow..."

"No!" the Lord interrupted the angel, "I feel that I am creating a creation very close to myself. You see, this model of the mother in front of me has been able to heal itself when she is sick... It can be used for one pound Burgers feed a family of 6...enough to put a 9 year old boy in the shower..."

The angel took a closer look around the mother's model, and couldn't help admiring: "She's so soft!"

"But very strong!" God said excitedly, "You can't even imagine how capable she is, and how much endurance she has!"

"Can she think?"

"Of course!" said the Lord, "She can reason, negotiate, and compromise..."

At this time, Tian touched the cheek of the mother model with his hand, and suddenly said: "There is a leak here. I have said that you have given her too many things, you can't ignore her endurance!" "

The Lord went up to take a closer look, and then gently dipped his finger into the glistening drop. "It's not a leak," said the Lord, "it's a tear."

"Tears?" asked the angel. "What good is that?"

"It can express joy, sorrow, disappointment, love, pain, loneliness, pride..." said the Lord.

"You're so good!" the angel praised.

Melancholy appeared on the Lord's face. "No," he said, "I didn't give her that much power."

Heart mark notes
There are no gorgeous rhetoric, no beautiful sentences, but we can definitely read the deepest shock and the greatest emotion from this beautiful article.

A mother is capable, she can heal wounds and diseases, she can see everything, and can give her family a warm shelter; a mother is strong, she has endurance beyond our imagination; a mother is wise, she can reason, discuss, Compromise...that's our hardworking, loving, gentle mother.All her motivation comes from a love, love for her family, and love for her children.This kind of love is invisible and moist, and this kind of love is deep and unforgettable.This love without a trace of impurity, we have to spend a lifetime to be grateful.
