Little Parable About MoThErS
The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
" Is the way long?" she asked the guide.
“ Yes, and the way is hard, you will be old before you reach the end of it, but the end will be better than the beginning,” said he.
The young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than those years. So she played with her children and bathed with them in the clear streams of water, and the young mother cried, " Nothing could ever be lovelier than this."
Then the night came, there was a storm, and the path was dark where the sky was filled with grayish clouds, whence, the children shook with fear and cold. And the mother drew them close, covered them with her mantle, then the children said, "Mother we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come." And the mother said to her children, “This is better than the brightness of the day, for I have taught my children courage."
And the morning came, there was a hill ahead of them, the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary too, but at all times she said to her children , " A little patience and we are there." So the children climbed and when they reached at the top they said, " Mother, we wouldn’t have done it without you."
When the mother lay down that night, she looked up at the stars and said: " This day is a better than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today I have given them strength."
And the next day came strange clouds darkened the earth, clouds of war, hate and evil ruled the sky, thus, the children groped and stumbled. And the mother said, "Look up!” They Lift their head and saw above… an Everlasting Glory. It guided them and brought them beyond the darkness. and that night the mother said, " This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children GOD."
And the days went on, and the months, and the years, the mother grew old and was little and bent. But her children, where the way was hard, they helped their mother; and when the way was rough, they lifted her for she was light as a feather. Till they came to a hill , and beyond the hill they could see a shinning road and golden gates flung wide.
And mother said, " I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know, that the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them," then the children said " You will always walk with us mother, even when you have gone through the gates."
Then they stood and watched her as she went all alone, then the gates had closed after her. And they said; " We cannot see mother anymore, but she is indeed with us still, because a mother like ours, is more than a memory…. for she is a living presence.
