Mothering Sunday26th March 2006It may - or may not - be pure coincidence that at our 10 a.m. service, the readings theme of the day was "God provides comfort in all our troubles and sufferings" ! Those readers who are mothers might therefore appreciate the following:
The Story of The Three Bears – retold for mothersBaby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table. He looks into his small bowl. It is empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?!!", he squeaks. Father Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl, and it is also empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?!!," he roars. Mother Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells, "For heaven’s sake, how many times do we have to go through this? "It was Mother Bear who got up first, it was Mother Bear who woke everyone in the house, it was Mother Bear who made the coffee, it was Mother Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it was Mother Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper, it was Mother Bear who laid the table, it was Mother Bear who put the cat out, cleaned the litter box, and filled the cat's water and food dish, and, now that you've decided to drag your sorry selves downstairs, and grace Mother Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen to me, because I'm only going to say this one more time . . . "I HAVEN'T MADE THE PORRIDGE YET !!"
