Mothers love, God's Grace

You know that it can only be a mother's love coupled with God's grace that allows you to weakly smile and say "Thanks" when after spending hours;
photo copying,
cutting,
gluing
and then sorting seventy phonogram cards into the correct order only to have your son helpfully pass you the box they are in and drop the box with a big OOOPS as the cards sloosh out and over the side.

GRATITUDE and RELIEF are what you feel when you are rewarded with the discovery that the worst that happened to the order of these seventy hand made cards is that is that only a few turned upside down, but miraculously all were still in the right order.
