Greetings Fellow Travelers
Here we are, Mothers Day weekend already. As of this writing my mother-in-law, Ynocencia Ybarra, is in the hospital with a mild stroke. Please pray for her. She is a good mom and a recipient of my Mothers Day blessing.
My Mothers Day Blessing goes out to all those moms who don't see the daily chores involved with taking care of a child as a burden, but a blessing and a privilege. But first, the bloodletting and exacting of flesh. In other words- the Mothers Day Curse.
This Sunday there will be thousands of "mothers" who will be the center of attention with husbands and children trying to impart to them the rewards of being a good mom, and they do not deserve it. Their lifestyles, their partying or who knows what has and will always take precedence over their own offspring, their own flesh and blood. Why a curse? Because their lazy worthless hands will eagerly receive the gifts and accolades regardless of their pitiful "mothering."
I have seen many drug addicted and lying women who keep smoking, drinking and drugging throughout their pregnancy, then drop a precious child into the world with as much concern as stepping on a roach. Their denial of drug use, even after the baby tests positive for drugs he or she could not possibly have ingested themselves, along with transparent lies such as "there must have been cocaine residue on the doorknob," earn them, and every mom who does not care for their own child, MY Mothers Day Curse.
Curse you women who do not refuse gifts designed to honor Motherhood. May the candy you eat rot in your belly's, and may the flowers reek of a dumpster out behind a seafood place, and may all who look upon you see the word Ichabod, (cursed of God) , written across your foreheads. May these conditions remain until you mend your vile and wretched ways and make amends.
Now, since we've gotten that out of the way, let's move on to the blessing.
Blessings in abundance for those women who place their children above themselves. May your Mothers Day meals be flavored with the most delicious and exotic spices and ingredients. May the flowers you receive melt away any pain or regret you may feel. May even the flowers of the field turn to gaze upon your natural and boundless beauty and love as you pass by.
May God touch your heart in such a way that you never feel alone or scared, that a sense of completeness and fulfillment permeates every fiber of your being.
May you never experience fear, pain or want.
Sweet, Lovely and Most Honorable Mothers, God Bless You.

Top-level comments on this article: (4 total)Wow Ken, as usual this is an excellent write. I know both kinds of mothers and you took the words out of many peoples mouths, including my own.I pray every day that the hard working, altruistic mothers are genuinely rewarded with peace, happiness and contentment. I also pray every day that the crappy, self-serving mothers will wake up, and if not turn over a new leaf, at least apologize for the awful role model they provided and try to help their children see the errors of the parents ways so that the innocent child doesn't end up the same way!I will pray for your mother in law and your family!Thank you, Elizabeth.I am continually amazed at how a REAL mom just loves her baby regardless. As for the "crappy, self-serving" egg donors, they can repair so much damage with just a few words. Most won't however.My mother-in-law will likely go home today- Mothers Day! Is that cool or what?
What's tough is knowing couples who would make wonderful parents and are unable to have children, when you see people having children who don't realize or appreciate the true gift they are. I'm with you on the blessings Ken, but I can't curse those other mothers. It's easy for me to say, because I had a wonderful mother so I can't identify with those who haven't, but I think bad parenting is a cycle. People tend to parent thier children like they were raised, they think it's normal behaviour. Rather than curse them, let's pray for them and if we can in some cases, get them the help they need to make change. I do understand where you're coming from though Ken, it is frustrating and sad to see helpless children in those types of homes. I hope and pray your mother-in-law will recover quickly.Hi Brianna, thanks for reading and commenting.
I have watched heartbroken as precious children are abused and abandoned while the television details the plight of childless couples. It's a wonder more health-care professionals don't revert to violence.However, I DO curse those useless turds mentioned in my article. Jesus says to pray for those who hate me and spitefully use me, but he himself threw the moneychangers out of the temple and said that it would be better for those who abuse children to have a "millstone hanged about their necks" and be "drowned in the depths of the sea." At least the curse can be reversed if the useless turds change their ways.I may seem bitter, but I have seen SO many babies born with defects caused by drugs and then are either abandoned or used as a cash cow for the government "benefits."Still, I am so glad you had/have a great mom. Some don't. I didn't, and I can tell you the effects of the physical and verbal abuse still haunt me at the age of 48.So, God Bless You, Brianna. You pray for them. I cannot. Instead, I'll pray for unending blessings for you and all the other REAL moms worldwide, whether they gave birth to their kiddos or not.
A very heart felt piece Ken.I can identify with what you are saying. I just lost my mother in law 2 weeks ago and she treated me better than my mother ever treated me but still I loved them both. I prayed for both of them and wished them both healing though their healing as God knows was on different levels.I pray for healing for all according to God's will and God's will only because that is what I have been taught. It does not mean that I have to approve of their behavior. You and your family will be in my prayers.Thank you, Linda.Our society caters to the people to the point where they see themselves as victims, entitled to OUR money to pay their way through life. Evil is evil and God wants us to recognize it as such.
thank you ken,i couldn't have said it better myself.thanks for sharing,my best regards,sueThank you, Sue!
