My Mom's the Best!

Mark your Bible with the Bible Verse, and read before the lesson: Proverbs 31:28, 29

Hi! My name is Bumbly Bear. I'm a little Koala Bear. Did you know that today is Mother's Day?

One lazy Friday afternoon, Bumbly Bear, Huggy Lamb and Kippy Kangaroo were having lunch. Just as Bumbly Bear took a bite into his peanut butter sandwich, he had a thought: "Hey, guys, what are you gonna do for Mother's Day? Are you going to buy your mom a card, or do something nice for her?"

Kippy Kangaroo piped right up, "My mom's the Best! I want to do something really special for her!"

"Why is she the best?, asked Huggy Lamb.

Kippy Kangaroo got very quiet. "Well"....he said, "Uh....well, I don't really have a mom. You see. I live in the children's home. Shelly is my mom there. She is the mom for all of us there. She is really special. She is so-o-o kind and generous. She plans all kinds of neat activities for us to do. And, she takes really good care of me too."

Bumbly Bear asked Huggy Lamb, "What's your mom like, Huggy Lamb?"

Huggy Lamb brightened up with a big smile as answered, "She is a lot of fun to be with. She has lots of good ideas of fun things to do. She stays inside and plays with me on rainy days. She is very patient and is always there to help me when I have a problem. She teaches me all kinds of neat things at home school too!"

"Wow! It sounds like your mom is a great mom too!" said Bumbly Bear.

"Yep, she is!" replied Huggy Lamb. "What's your mom like, Bumbly Bear?"

"Let's see...said Bumbly Bear. "Well, my mom is a really good nurse when I'm sick." He thought some more. "And she's a really good cook too...Besides that, she's really smart. She knows how to buy all this great stuff at the best prices. She's a good listener too. And she always answers the questions I have about the Bible, or about God."

"Wow! That's really nice of her to take the time to answer your questions. Yeah, mom's are pretty cool, alright, agreed Huggy Lamb. "Hey, since the Bible says to praise our moms and honor them, let's show them how they special are to us...especially on Mother's Day. Let's show our moms how much we love them this Mother's Day. I have an idea. Let's make a card of our very own and give it to our moms so they have the best Mother's Day ever! "

"That sounds like a great idea, Bumbly Bear. Yes, Let's do that", they all agreed.

Lesson

I hope you liked today's story about Mother's day. Now we have a card for you to make for your mothers. But, first lets say a prayer and remember to thank the Lord for our mothers or whoever takes care of us.

Remember to give your mom a big hug and kiss and say, "Happy Mother's Day!"

PRAYER:

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me people to take care of me, like my mommy.

Thank you for loving me so much, and giving me people who love me.

Help me to show the people who take care me how much I love them too.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
