Mother's Day 2015
Ephesians 6
New International Version (NIV)
The scriptures tell us to listen to our parents.
As children, we are reminded again and again to listen to our mothers.
We are told that what comes from our mother's mouth is the word of God. What she says goes.
"When Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." And, that's usually true.
What did Mom tell us as we grew up? What came from her lips that we could hang on to?

What follows is a bit of truth. A bit of sarcasm. A bit of scripture. And, an appreciation for all that this special woman has to deal with as she tries so hard to be "mom".
I got some help from Brook Hall, a mom and contributor over at the Scary Mommy Blog.
I embellished upon her list and added a bit of my own thinking. Brook created an exhaustive list of things mom say and then provided some interpretation about what those phrases actually mean.

1. “Don’t make me come over there.” I really don’t want to get up or stop what I am doing to come over there.
2. “Because I said so.” And I can’t think of another reason.
3. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I am hoping that you won’t come up with anything to say at all for at least 30 seconds.

“Don’t make me come over there.”
I really don’t want to get up or stop what I am doing to come over there.
Oh, and what would happen if she did come over there? Believe me, you don't want to find out.
You probably should stop what you're doing now before she takes those foreboding steps to where you are.
“Because I said so.”
Which really translates into...And I can’t think of another reason.
Didn't that phrase drive you crazy. The sheer absoluteness of it while being so vague.
There was no clear reason to stop doing what we were doing. Other than the fact that mom didn't like it. And, truly, sometimes that was reason enough to re-evaluate what we were doing.
“If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”
Which truly means - I am hoping that you won’t come up with anything to say at all for at least 30 seconds. How many mothers have had that one child that just says the darndest things? Do you remember the Quaker Chewy commercials? It showcases kids saying those kind of things. Here, child, have a granola bar and give us some piece for a few minutes.
Here's our first scripture reference that I think fits with one of these sayings. Luke Chap 6 gives us another version of the some of that Sermon on the Mount material we popularly find in Matthew's gospel. Luke 6.31 says to us "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Our mothers maybe are the one person who shows us what it means to say the right thing at the right time and in the right tone. Even when she herself might not have the greatest attitude in the moment she knows enough to teach her children what is the right thing to say.
"Stop this instant!"
The translation - If you stop now before I have to get up and come over there, we can forget this ever happened. How many a mom has stood at the bottom of the steps looking upstairs, not wanting to travel up all those steps, but being willing to take the trip if necessary. Trust me. You want to stop now.
"Don't make me turn this car around"
What this means - I'm totally bluffing. If we turn around now, we will be going home without groceries, diapers and wine. We need to keep this car in route to it's destination, so please just fall for my bluff and we'll get through this safe and sound. Yes, there might be moment where Mom sounds as if she is bluffing. But the ultimate truth is this. You still have to come back home. And, Dad is still going to hear about what you did.
"Don't forget to say please and thank you"
I'm really not sure what I'm going to do if you don't say these things,so please just say them. You will be polite. I will look like a good Mom. We all win. Ah, manners. What does the scriptures teach us about manners? Well, a quick search through Google showed me a page with more than 40 mentions throughout the scriptures with verses pertaining to manners. And, here's a real good one one our speech. Matthew 15.11 - "It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this is what defiles a person." So, say those please and thank yous when they are necessary. Make yourself look good. And, your mama will be proud.
"You are just fine"
Is there blood present? No? Ok, you're fine then.
"I am the parent. You are the child."
Oh my, how many times have we had to make sure that the child in our house knows the natural order of things. Here comes the most real description of what it means to be in a relationship with God. This life causes us to take a moment to realize that God is truly in control. Not us. It might take a lifetime for us to finally come to that epiphany. And, then we have to help these little ones in our presence to learn this eternal truth as well.
"Lets try to not eat of the floor"
Why is it that children seem to think that if it's food and they can pick it up, hey, it must go in the mouth. It doesn't matter where we found it. It doesn't matter how long it has been on the floor. In many cases it doesn't even matter if there is hair on it.
"I would have never gotten away with that when I was your age."
Interpretation - I don't actually remember ever being your age, but it sounds legit anyway.
"I'm going to count to three and then you better be in bed."
What it means is - I literally have no energy left. It's the end of the day and I just want all of us to go to bed. I'm going to count to three very slowly and hope that it works, because after that, I got nothin'. Actually, counting to three works very well, if your child understand one thing. That you mean it. That you actually will do something. That you will actually take action if your orders are not followed. My parents were never afraid to take something that meant a great deal to me. A boom box. A radio. A bicycle. Something they knew I really wanted. SO, count to three. And, then be prepared to be the parent you know you can be.
"Goodnight. Stay in bed!"
How many times have we called up the stairs? Told so and so to stop heading to the bathroom, to stop getting a drink, to shut off the blasted light on the stairs and GO TO BED?! Yep, we've all been there.
"I love you."
I love you more than you could know and I really hope I'm doing ok at this Mom thing.

8. “You are just fine.” You are okay, right? Go run around and play, jump off the couch or refuse to eat your veggies, so I know that you are acting normal.
9. “Do you want a little cheese with that whine?” I wonder if I could teach you to go pour me a glass of wine?
10. “I am the parent and you are the kid.” I am aware that this is super condescending and that you already know who’s who around here, but I’m actually just giving myself a pep talk out loud, I’m not really even talking to you.
