OSCHDRE

By Russell W. Gilbert

Bei uns deheem, Wu waxe Beem

Schier himmelhoch, Mer schtrewe nooch.

Im Summersgrie

Mer biege Gnie

Uff sanfder Grund Un bede gsund.

Wann Winder kummt

Un’s Grie verschtummt, Watt laut mei Mund In Goddesbund.

Im Hatz ken Angscht

Weil Gott Du langscht Mer Lewesbrot In greeschder Not.

Mit Oschdre siegt

War Mensch mol wiegt, Der Schtee rollt weck, Fatt Dodesschreck.

O scheener Daag, Uns Schuld veryaag!

O liewi Zeit, Bring Freed uns heit!

Dr. Gilbert’s translation:

*** EASTER

Oschdre, 18. April 1976

At our home, where trees nearly reach the heavens, we strive upward./In summer’s green we bend our knees upon gentle soil and offer sound prayers./When winter comes and the green turns silent, my lips speak on God’s covenant. (verschtummt and Mund are rare.) No fear in the heart, because you God hand me the bread of life in greatest need. (The plural Engschde is the common form, rather than Angscht.) With Easter He who will some day judge (“weigh”) mankind conquers; the stone rolls away, gone the terror of death. (siecht may be more usual than siegt)/O beautiful day, cast out our guilt. O lovely season, bring us joy today.

***

DER OSCHDERHAAS

Du aarmer Oschderhaas,

Der Schwans zwischich Schtee geglemmt, Datt sehnt mer ihn noch schtecke, So zawwlich unnich de Hecke.

Kummt gschnuffelt em Nochber sei Hund, Riecht gschwind verwundter Haas, Deheem er beisst en dod moll. Is des en Oschderverrotgroll?

Der Hund gafft schaadefroh, Aa schemmt er sich verdriebt. ‘s iss ewwe hundsnadierlich, Ich glaab em noch, browier ich.

Die Eldre helfe raus

THE EASTER BUNNY

You poor Easter Bunny, with tail pinned between stones. One can still see it stuck while struggling under the thicket./A neighbor’s dog comes snufﬂing and quickly scents the wounded rabbit. At home the dog simply bites it to death. Is this Easter treason with spite?/The dog gawks maliciously, but he shows shame and dejection too. You see, to kill a rabbit is a dog’s natural action; I still believe in the dog, at least I try./The parents help by using brown onion skins. Next year a bunny will hop into the rooms to dab the eggs with its tail./Yes our folks brought Easter eggs and the Easter bunny to America; chicken eggs simply do not taste as good as those with colored spots.

Since this Eck will appear right in the middle of Holy Week, “die Karwoch,” we want to feature two poems from the pen of one of our finest Dutch poets, the late Dr. Russell W. Gilbert. Russell W. Gilbert retired in 1970 from a professorship in German in Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Snyder County. He died on February 19, 1985. The late Dr. Preston Barba, longtime editor of the yearbooks of the Pennsylvania German Folklore Society and of the Allentown Morning Call’s Eck column, described Dr. Gilbert as the most sophisticated Pennsylvania Dutch poet of all time.

For those readers who are interested in collections of dialect poetry, two volumes of Russell Gilbert’s poems are available form the Pennsylvania German Society, Rural Route, Birdsboro, PA. The earlier hardbound collection of Gilbert’s poems is entitled Bilder un Gedanke. A Book of Pennsylvania German Verse. It was published by the Pennsylvania German Society in 1975. It is Volume IX in the new series of Publications Of The Pennsylvania German Society.

Mit Zwiwwleschaale brau.

Neegscht Yaahr hupst en Haas in die Schtubbe Mit Schwans die Oier zu dubbe.

Ya unser Leit gebrocht

Hen Oschderoier un Haas, De Hinkel ihre net schmacke Wie die mit farwiche Blacke.

The two poems which we reprint this week appear in Glotz un Schliwwere. Later Poems In The Pennsylvania German Dialect by Russell Wieder Gilbert, published in 1987 in a paperback edition by the Pennsylvania German Society as Volume 1 in The Russell W. Gilbert Series of Pennsylvania German Dialect Publication.

It is our pleasure to celebrate the Easter season in 1989 by honoring the memory of Russell W. Gilbert, “The most sophisticated poet of the Pennsylvania Germans.”

Unstopping Our Ears

By: J. Jefferson

“When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him…” (Acts 7:5457).

As you are reading this article, you are more likely to get struck by lightning

twice than to participate in the violent killing of a man for preaching the gospel truth. That said, the core issue that led those Jews (highly religious men) to stone Stephen to death presents a threat to every hearer of God’s word at varying points and to varying degrees. Yielding to this sinful tendency to any degree puts us in rebellion against God. For this cause, we must make our minds up in advance that we will receive God’s word, no matter how challenging it may be (Daniel 1:8).

The issue of stopping our ears when we do not like what we hear is as old as humanity itself. When Eve heard the serpent’s word concerning the outcome of eating the fruit God had forbidden, she took his word over God’s (Genesis 3:1-7). It may not be that he had proven himself more worthy of her trust, but it was enough for her to turn away from God’s word. In a recent social media post I read, an author was cited as saying, “Eve found the ser-

W

pent more trustworthy than God, not because of its credentials, but because the serpent said what Eve wanted to hear.” This seems to capture the essence of the problem.

Jesus spoke of people who “…hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand…” (Matthew 13:13) because “…the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing…” (Matthew 13:15; cf. Isaiah 6:9-10). The issue Jesus addressed had nothing to do with their physiological capacity to receive sound into their ears. They had a listening problem due to their choice to block out God’s word in favor of a preferred narrative (John 5:39-47; 8:37-47). Paul warned Timothy that in his preaching the word, a time would come “…when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside

to fables” (2 Timothy 4:34).

This pattern is repeated throughout the biblical record as time and again God’s people “stopped their ears” and refused to hear God’s word. The widespread confusion in religion today indicates nothing has changed. I wonder how often we may stop our ears and refuse to hear God’s word when we encounter it. It won’t do to dismiss our refusal to hear as less destructive than that of the Jews who killed Stephen. No, there is no acceptable degree of rebellion against the Lord and His will (John 12:47-48; Galatians 5:7; Hebrews 2:1-4; 6:4-6; 10:26-31; 12:25; 1 John 3:4-10).

For Jesus, His will was to do that of the Father; for us, as Christians, “May we train our ears and hearts to rightfully discern the will of God over the loudness of our own will.”

My Mommy Is The Best That There Is

Hello, My name is Gracie. Just so we all understand each other, my Mommy is the best that there is. From day 1, she has always taken care of me, and we completely get each other. And I do my part to take her of her as well. We are truly like peas in a pod and are very blessed to have each other. This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us. Daddy always says I look like him, but I think Mommy and I are twinsies.

We are just about inseparable - if you see one of us, the other can’t be far away. One of the big things I love about her is our communication. We have fantastic talks about everything - school, family and friends, what I want to do when I get older. We have a lot of great talks on our walks through the

neighborhood that we both love so much. Always talking to neighbors and other

walkers we pass, looking at fairy gardens and greeting all the dogs we see. Taking

in nature! We love helping maintain the Monarch butterﬂy population by bringing caterpillars and chrysalises inside to make sure they get through the process and it is so much fun to release them and watch them ﬂy away.

We do so many things together. Give each other manicures and pedicures, she is always ready to play Barbies, Monster High, LOL dolls and Legos, and she is the woman of a thousand voices. We love cooking and baking and experimenting when we do. I have started borrowing her clothes, and she makes up for it by borrowing my jewelry. Don’t even ask about makeup!

So now you understand why I feel how I do. Hoping all the Mothers have an amazing Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

This year, Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10th. And as that date fast approaches, many of us find ourselves wandering through the plethora of gifts available

for Mom, trying to find just the right gift for our special lady. Here are some great options for the mother in your life.

The traditional gifts never go out of style. A beautiful bouquet of ﬂowers or a lovely potted plant will make many a woman thrilled on Mother’s Day. In many areas, lilies bloom

near Mother’s Day, and can be a lovely remainder to her every year of your devotion. Jewelry is always a wonderful idea; for the new mother or grandmother, try a bracelet or necklace with charms with the baby’s birthstone for a gift she’ll treasure for years. If the mother for whom you’re shopping is more

difficult to please, perhaps a gift basket with an assortment of similar items would suit her fancy. Such a basket could easily include things like candles, chocolates, bath items, jewelry, even clothing. Just make sure that it’s something that speaks to her as an individual, and she’s that much more likely to love it.

Thank You Mom!

Thank you Mom for blessing our lives with your love. Your steadfast faith. Your continuing prayers. You loved your babies dearly (eleven of us). You love your adult children, just as we are. Thank you, Mom.

You taught us respect for our teachers, ministry, authority. You showed us what true love for a spouse looks like. You point the way to Christ by leaving footprints we hope to follow.

God bless you and keep you. We love you dearly, Mom. You’re the best!

Many ladies have hobbies which are near and dear to them. If the mother for whom you’re shopping is like this, why not find something to enhance their favor-

ite free time activity? If she’s a scrapbooker, consider a fabulous new bag in which she can carry all of her supplies, a punch she’s been eyeing for awhile, or a subscription to her favorite magazine for layout ideas.

For the gardener, a new pair of comfortable garden clogs or a special type of seed might be just what she needs to brighten her summer. The mother who loves to cook would especially enjoy a new gadget that would cut her prep time in half or an ingredient on which she wouldn’t normally splurge like exceptional cooking

chocolate or perfectly aged herbed oil. A gift that’s specialized to her interests is sure to bring a smile to her face.

If the mother in your life is like many modern women, constantly scurrying from one side of town to the other and always on the go, help her splurge on herself this Mother’s Day. A gift certificate to a local spa for a day of pampering would more than help to soothe her worries away! If a whole day of pampering is out of your range, try a great warmed stones massage or maybe a manicure and pedicure combination.

Have a mother in your life who just has it all or just is trying to minimize? Then a gift that includes time with you would be welcomed without adding to her household clutter. Try tickets to the theater, symphony, or a ballet. Maybe a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant would suit. Or maybe just a collection of tickets for tasks that you’ll take care of for her in the near future. If you include yourself in the gift, you can’t go wrong.

Most importantly, though, give her Mother’s Day off. Nothing will make her feel more treasured than know-

You’re the heart of our family and the reason our home is filled with love. We are so grateful for everything you do for us every single day. We love you so much!

- Nick & the boys

ing that you care enough to take over for the day. If there’s a dinner planned, make sure you can prepare and cook as much of it as possible. If there are children around, take charge of them for the day. Give her this day as downtime, and it’ll recharge her batteries better than any gift could do.

When it comes right down to it, what a mother wants most of all is to know that you love her and appreciate all that she does and continues to do. And whether you have pennies or thousands of dollars to spend, you can always find something that shows her just how much you care.

In our family, our grandfather, Gregory Zimmerman, gets all the mothers flowers for Mother’s Day. This year in particular, he got baskets and flowers and had all the mothers and girls build their own flower baskets. Shown in the photo from left to right: Grandmother Romaine Zimmerman, Daugh-

ter-in-Law Karen Zimmerman, Daughter-in-Law Gennel Zimmerman, Granddaughter Alicia Zettlemoyer, Granddaughter Mylissa Gambler, Daughter Bernadine Zimmerman (mother of Alicia and Marlene); Daughter Marlo Blyer (Mother of Mylissa and Jen); Karen’s mother, Carol. Missing

mothers from the photo are Krystal Zimmerman and Jennifer Zepp. At the bottom of the photo are GreatGranddaughter Ava Zettlemoyer and Granddaughter Marlene Shenk.

Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the hardworking, loving mothers in our family and yours.

Nikki Sensenig

Junior

Nikki Sensenig proves herself as an A-grade example of an inspiration to many.

Throughout her entire life, the now junior at EHS is continuously committed to Bible Study and her local church, Ephrata Community Church. Sensenig wouldn’t be the same without her church, but her church wouldn’t be the same without her either.

Sensenig

Sensenig, daughter of Adam Sensenig and Brenda Anaya, became a natural leader, guiding a worship night for Bible Study once. The compassion she displays in Bible Study marks her as a notable and important figure within the community of Christianity she resonates with. Since freshman year, her confidence to brave challenges came from her parents, as well as worship leader Bailey French, whom she met at a Jesus rally.

Auditioning for the 2026 EHS production of The Little Mermaid musical is another challenge Sensenig overcame and now considers a great accomplishment. Although hesitant at first, the decision to audition and land the role as Attina in the musical has allowed Sensenig to express herself more than ever before. The creativity brimming within her is put into fruition with singing and writing music, and she finds more time to practice these passions now that she’s in the musical. Staying determined is something Sensenig lives by, reminding herself that by her own words, “Your low days and mistakes don’t define you; it’s what you do in those hard circumstances, still choosing to get back up and keep going no matter how hard it gets. Choosing to soak in every minute and being truthful to ourselves.”

Danika Martin 8th Grade

Danika Martin is an eighth grader at Catalyst Christian School. She is a familiar name on the honor roll and is recognized as a very responsible person.

Danika enjoys being able to hang out with her friends at school. Her favorite class is AEP (Catalyst’s Academic Enrichment Program) because it is a chill class with a lot of flexibility. She does archery on the school’s team and has earned a place in the upcoming national competition in Louisville, Kentucky. She also participates in the theater program at Catalyst.

Some of Danika’s hobbies include reading, drawing, video games, and of course archery. She enjoys hanging out with her cousins as well.

Her greatest accomplishment so far has been earning 3rd place in States for archery. Danika goes to Hammer Creek Mennonite Church, where she helps run the livestream during the service.

After she graduates, Danika would like to train to become a chef or maybe go on to work as an astronaut someday. If Danika could change anything about the world, she would like people to better realize when they are wasting their time, so they could become more productive. This would

Tips To Choosing The Right Nursing Specialty Among Much Opportunity

Opportunities abound within the nursing profession. Nursing shortages have stretched the profession thin in both the United States and Canada. For example, a report in fall of 2022 indicated a nursing shortage was directly responsible for the closure of 16 emergency departments in Ontario, Canada’s largest province. Warnings regarding a potential nursing shortfall have been sounded for years in the United States as well, with estimates from the country’s Bureau of Labor and Statistics projecting more than 200,000 job openings per

year over a decade-long period beginning in 2021 and ending in 2031.

Though the Ontario closures illustrate how nursing shortages pose a public health problem, those shortages also present opportunities for individuals considering a career in nursing.

Nursing is essentially an umbrella term for a career path includes an array of specialties, and aspiring nurses may need a little help choosing the right path within the field.

• Consider your potential schedule. The pandemic

highlighted just how essential nurses are to public health, and many specialities within the field do not have a down season. If routine is something you aspire to in order to create work-life balance, then certain specialties within nursing may be more appealing than others. For example, school nurses and nurses who work in doctor’s offices generally work 9-to5 shifts, which can afford such professionals the same work-life balance as other professions. If you thrive on a fast-paced environment where routine is less important, then a career as an

emergency room nurse might merit consideration.

Nurse Practitioners indicates a nurse practitioner must complete a master’s or doctoral degree program and have advanced clinical training beyond their initial professional registered nurse preparation. Aspiring nurses can identify the educational requirements of various nursing specialties to help them decide how big a commitment they’re willing to make.

Happy Nur S eS Week!

Honoring Nurses. Welcoming New Ones.

This Nurses Week, we’re celebrating the nurses who make a difference every day. Join a team that cares and is known for quality, including a 5-star rating, state-of-the-art equipment, and benefits starting on day one

• Identify why you want to be a nurse. Opportunity for career growth and earning potential are good reasons to pursue any career, but those are not the factors that compel many people to initially consider a career in nursing. Many nurses were first inspired by a personal experience, such as helping an elderly relative. Others may have been inspired by a love of children and a desire to help kids recover from illnesses. When faced with the

decision of which path to specialize in, aspiring nurses can benefit from identifying what compelled them to pursue nursing in the first place and then look for an opportunity that aligns with that inspiration.

• Determine the educational requirements. Education requirements vary widely within the field of nursing. Some specialties require a two-year associate’s degree while others may require considerably more formal education. For example, the American Association of

• Recognize you can pivot. Aspiring nurses also should recognize they can pivot to a new speciality if they have a hard time identifying a career path when they begin their formal schooling. In fact, many nurses find that on-the-job experience is the best way to identify which specialties appeal to them and which don’t.

Nursing is a vast field loaded with opportunities. Aspiring nurses can consider a host of factors as they try to identify which career path to take.

Drink Water–To Your Health!

Are you looking for a simple way to lead a healthier life? Skip the diets and trendy health fixes and focus on drinking water every day. Several health organizations recommend drinking eight 8-ounce glasses a day to help your body run more efficiently. When you consider that your blood is 92 percent water and your brain and muscles are 75 percent water, it only makes sense that you need to stay hydrated. Here are some reasons why drinking water will have you feeling better, while also making you healthier.

• Nature’s energy drink. It’s easy to down an energy drink or pop some vitamins when you’re feeling sluggish. However, water balances your electrolytes, controls your blood pressure, cleans the toxins from your kidneys and gives you more energy by helping your blood maintain a healthy volume. Proper hydration also regulates your body temperature.

• Improve your moves with water. If you ache more than usual after a workout, you may need to up your water intake. Water acts as a natural shock absorber for your organs and helps lubricate your joints. Proper hydration also improves concentration and reaction time.

• Natural boost for dieters. It’s common to mistake thirst for hunger pangs and to combat thirst with food instead of water. Before grabbing a snack or an extra helping, try drinking water between meals or a half hour before meals.

• Beauty is more than skin deep. If your skin is feeling dry and moisturizers aren’t working, consider drinking more water. Water filters through your other organs first, reaching the skin last. So if your other organs aren’t hydrated enough, your skin will pay the price. Your skin repays hydration by being smoother, softer and healthier.

The Many Responsibilities Of ER Nurses

Emergency rooms are fastpaced environments. ER nurses are right in the thick of things, performing a range of tasks that illustrate the value and talent of these highly skilled professionals.

Though many things attract people to a career as an ER nurse, the spontaneity of the job undoubtedly merits consideration. No two shifts are the same for ER nurses, whose ability to thrive despite that lack of routine is remarkable. Individuals curious about what a day in the life of an ER nurse might be like should know that the following are just some of the many tasks these invaluable professionals may be asked to perform in a given shift.

• Triage: ER nurses helps with the preliminary assessment of patients in order to determine the urgency of their needs. Often referred to as “triage,” this part of the job underscores the depth of medical knowledge ER nurses must have, as assessing a patient’s needs often requires quick thinking and recognition of details that patients themselves may not have identified or communicated.

• Vital signs: ER nurses are typically tasked with taking and monitoring patients’ vital signs. This may include taking and documenting pulse rate, blood pressure and body temperature, among other signs. This information is essential for keeping patients safe and ensuring assessments are accurate.

• Medication administration: ER nurses also routinely administer medication prescribed by a doctor as well as any medications patients were taking prior to being admitted to the ER. Nurses’ experience and knowledge is vital when performing this task, as they can consult with physicians about patients’ existing medications, which may dictate what the doctor can and cannot prescribe to treat the condition that brought the individual to the ER. When tasked with administering

medication, ER nurses may prepare intravenous infusion of medications and may need to contact the patient’s family or pharmacist to confirm which medications the patient was taking to treat preexisting conditions.

• Medical procedures: ER nurses sometimes assist physicians as they perform certain medical procedures. For example, nurses may intubate patients and suture wounds during procedures.

• Monitor patients: ER nurses are often the face of a hospital for patients and their families. Much of these interactions occur while nurses are monitoring patients before they see a physician and after a physician has ordered tests or treatments. In this regard, ER nurses must excel at comforting patients and their families until a diagnosis is delivered or confirmed via testing.

There’s no shortage of responsibilities for ER nurses, which only underscores how valuable they are.

Finding Your Place In The Challenging and Rewarding Field

Nursing is a wise career choice for people looking for a challenging yet rewarding profession. Significant nursing shortages continue to pose a challenge within the health care industry, as the United States was expected to have a deficit of around 295,800 nurses by the end of 2025.

Nurses work in many dif-

ferent facilities and can focus on an array of specialties. Nurses may be categorized by their levels of education. Each level has a different scope of practice and responsibility. Those considering nursing as a career, or patients preparing to see a nursing provider for care, can explore these types of nurses.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

LPNs are health care professionals responsible for basic patient care and comfort. They typically are a patient’s primary point of contact and relay information to the rest of the care team. One can think of LPNs as entrylevel nurses, although their responsibilities are no less

health conditions with an emphasis on disease prevention and health management. Advanced education, like a master’s or doctoral degree, is required to become a CNP. He or she is able to prescribe medications, order diagnostic tests and manage chronic conditions.

Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM)

important than other medical professionals’. LPNs typically work under others’ direct supervision and assist patients with eating, dressing and bathing. LPNs also take vital signs and administer medications. The American Nursing Association says becoming an LPN or a licensed vocational nurse requires a high school diploma or GED and a vocational training course, and a passing grade on the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses is necessary.

Registered Nurse (RN) RNs require a higher level of education than LPNs and they can provide more complex and comprehensive care for patients. RNs often handle a wider range of patient services and take on more responsibilities than

LPNs. The ANA says two college degree paths available to aspiring RNs are an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). A BSN requires a greater financial commitment and a four-year undergraduate program takes time to complete.

Nurses who have advanced degrees are called Advanced Practice Registered Nurses. They have specialized training beyond that of a typical registered nurse and have broader scopes of practice.

Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP)

A CNP is a health partner of choice for many people. The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® says CNPs are clinicians that blend clinical expertise in diagnosing and treating

CNMs provide gynecological and low-risk obstetrical care. These advance practice registered nurses focus their study and practices on gynecology, family planning, prenatal, labor, and postpartum care. In addition to an advanced degree, CNMs must complete an accredited midwifery education program and pass a national certification exam.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) CRNAs have specialized training in anesthesia. The Cleveland Clinic notes CRNAs can administer anesthesia for procedures and surgeries. These professionals work with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other providers. CRNAs often are the sole anesthesia providers in hospitals in rural areas and the U.S. armed forces.

27th Annual

A collection of poems, memories and notes dedicated to our mothers.

Happy Mother’s Day to the strongest woman we know and admire so much! Thank you for being our rock and our best friend. We are so grateful for your countless sacrifices and your unconditional love.

You are full of compassion, strength, and grace. We wouldn’t be who we are today without you, and we love you for all that you are and all that you do. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

We love you more than words can say. Happy Mother’s Day to the most amazing mom!

Love, Penny, Carla & Robin

Are you looking for a great Mother’s Day gift idea? Why not make a gift basket?

A gift basket can be a lot of fun. This can be focused on a particular theme. It is lots of fun to open several gifts, or even lots of tiny gifts, and that’s a lot of the fun of a gift basket.

Another lovely thing about the gift basket is knowing that someone took the time and thought of all of these lovely things to give you.

Gift baskets can be very creative, full of someone’s favorite things. Or they can follow just one theme, like a chocolate lover’s basket. No matter the theme the focus is on the gift recipient and the fun they will have with the basket. Every day they can pick something out of the basket to enjoy. This is a gift that they will enjoy for awhile.

To make a gift basket the first thing to do is to select a theme. There is a list of themes below to inspire you, but you may come up with other themes that appeal to your Mom for this Mother’s Day. Select a theme that will appeal to your Mom the

most, whether this is a book lover’s basket, or maybe a tea lover’s basket. If you are having trouble thinking of a theme, consider the things that your Mom loves the most, and these will most likely lead you to great gift basket ideas.

Once you’ve found a theme then select a budget amount for your gift basket. Know that you can do a gift basket for just about every budget; probably a good amount to start a gift basket is at twenty dollars. But you can even do an indulgent gift basket for several hundred dollars. A lot of this will depend on where you shop for items, and exactly what you place in the gift basket. Some items are more expensive than others, like fine designer perfumes or fine or high-end costume jewelry.

But you can bring down the price on both of these items by purchasing them at a discount store, or by shopping at a great sale.

Chocolate lover’s basket. Try stocking this basket with various chocolate goodies, including cocoa, chocolate bars, cooking chocolate. All of the finest quality.

Book lover’s basket. This is a great basket. Do mysteries, romance novels, biographies; whatever type of books your Mom loves the most. Include bookmarks and a book light.

Tea lover’s basket. Perfect for a tea lover. Include favorite teas and some new ones to try. Remember to in-

consider the following unique gift ideas.

• Concert tickets: Many adults recall the days of their youth when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favorite music on a lazy summer afternoon. Why not take a stroll down Memory Lane and take

Mom to see one of her favorite acts in concert? Even if you have outgrown Mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the

show she has had her eyes on. If Broadway is a bit

too far for you to travel, do your homework and find a traveling production of a former Broadway show. Such productions often feature many of the same actors who made the play famous on Broadway so you’re still bound to see an unforgettable show Mom will love.

• Parts unknown: Moms who love to travel and experience other cultures would

certainly appreciate a trip abroad or a domestic getaway to a region of the country they have yet to explore. Before booking any such trips, speak to your Mom and ask if there’s anywhere in particular she’d like to go. Such trips can be expensive, so adults might want to speak to their siblings and finance such an excursion together.

• Spa treatment: If Mom is still as active as ever, then a day of pampering at a nearby spa is sure to please. Many luxury spas offer packages, especially around Mother’s Day, that make a full-on spa treatment a more affordable gift. Men and women can even accompany Mom on her trip and reap the rewards of being such a thoughtful son or daughter.

Tribute To Mother

On Mother’s Day, pay your most humble tribute to Mother!

Mothers are everything for us when we are small…our lives revolve around her. For everything that we need we call mother. To protect us from all perceivable dangers

we want her around us. To take us out, we hold her arms. To kiss away our wounds, we run to her. And for a warm hug and love, we look for her. She is the focal point of our lives, the greatest human being in the world. On the special occasion of Mother’s Day pay tribute to your mother, the greatest blessing of God on you.

On Mother’s Day Thank Your Mother

There is simply no way we can ever really thank mother for all she has done for us. She is the one who will be awake all night when we are sick. Praying to God to make us well and be ever ready to bear the pain that we may be experiencing. She is the one to wake up early in the morning to make the nicest meal and endure all our tantrums. Mothers are the ones who would forever complain that we are not eating enough or not eating right. They would cook all sorts of things so that we be strong and healthy. They would take pains to complete our school projects leaving all other works behind while we play around with friends or just while away time watching movies.

On Mother’s Day

Apologize To Your Mother

Mothers are the one on whom we put all the blame for our failures. We would not hesitate once to point her single faux pas though she would not miss even a slightest opportunity to praise us. Isn’t it tough to imagine how she must have borne our temper tantrums when we were teenagers? And how hard we must have made her life by behaving so rude and difficult? And yet she was so astonishingly cool. It is easy for the kids to be so demanding from parents, especially mothers, as we take her affection and care so much for granted. Most often to the extent of selfishness. Mother’s Day is the right time to apologize for all the troubles that we gave to our moms, without even realizing at most times how troublesome we must have been to her.

Celebrate Mother’s Day With Your Dear Mother Mother’s Day is the perfect day to celebrate the joys of having a mother if you are fortunate to have one still around. It is the time to make amends for not being able to spend quality time with her. So turn your wrongs right by making all efforts to give a perfect Mother’s Day to your mother. Strive to make Mother’s day absolutely hassle free for your mother and take the responsibilities on yourself for a day. Pamper her a little on this special day of hers just as she pampers you all the year round. Give her a hug and a kiss as you wish her a Happy Mother’s day!
