“Listen… “Dear”… and you shall hear…”

May 2nd “Listen… “Dear”… and you shall hear…”

Since “Mother’s Day” is just around the corner … was thinking about my Mother and the week surrounding “Mother’s Day” in 1974.

There is one day in the year – that I feel – that no one should ever forget – and that is “MOTHER’s DAY” – because no matter what your personal relationship you may or may not have had – – your MOTHER was predestined by the Almighty – to give to you – all that you were predestined to come into this world – with! Each of us feel at times – that there may have been a mistake – in that – someone in our family or even me – – may not have really been given everything – – that we would think that we were suppose to have received, – but when you think things over and with counsel – – – you will soon realize that – each of us have received different talents – and we are given the choice on how – – to use those talents – in our pursuit to happiness – along our personal journey to the great beyond – ETERNITY!

When – I think about my MOTHER – there are so many wonderful things that I have received – just in the very short time we had together. That is the number one enemy of our enjoying LIFE – with our FAMILY – – there just is not – – enough of good – “Quality TIME” – as we start out in the FAMILY – the very first years we have with our parents – – are shared with siblings and each of the siblings demand – – so much time and some even so much more than the rest – – – for any number of reasons? The next loss of “Quality TIME” is almost “ZERO” – – when children are born each and every year. I am a believer of having several children in the FAMILY – as when you have parents and siblings – – – you are also learning “HOW” to live with others in this very busy and big world.

We are – at all TIMES – on a “LEARN and GROW” program – but how and why do some do so well and some others so poorly? With all of the studies – that are done – why has that situation in our “LIFE PLANS for FAMILY LIFE” – been overlooked? So many people who think – that they have the answer to all the problems in this world – sure are doing a very poor job – at whatever they are trying to accomplish?? We do hear from some enthusiastic people and with great ideas – but – because some others feel that those ideas – could be the correct answers – – somehow or the other – those uninformed and not very cooperative people – get these helpful and very worthwhile ideas – – – swept under the rug and never ever tried – resulting with – no one finds out whether or not – these good ideas would have worked?

One special thing – that I am glad to have always remembered – is that my MOTHER always would let me know – that it is better to “LISTEN” – that – and – in my case – “LISTEN and LEARN” – because – by my opening my mouth – too much, too loud – I could only let the whole wide world know – how much that I did not know! She would tell me – that if one will only – LISTEN – more – one will get – “FOOD for THOUGHT” – – and when you have heard what another has had to say – and sometimes – – she would even say – – “They will spill the BEANS” – – and you will learn exactly what you need to know!” “So, let another talk for all they are worth – and you will soon know – – exactly what they are worth – and if you should “waste” any more time – – picking their empty – “BRAINS??”

So, my very early lesson in “LIFE” – was “Listen – dear” – and “learn” – all – – that – “you need to know!”
