Good food, good company and good advice – what more could one ask for on a beautiful Friday morning? Our November 5th meeting was Mentor Mom Day, where we had the opportunity to get to know the Seasoned Mothers who sit at our tables.
Our eleven lovely mentors each came forward to share a bit about themselves and offer sage words of advice such as these:
BITTER ARE THE TEARS OF A CHILD...SWEETEN THEM.
DEEP ARE THE THOUGHTS OF A CHILD...QUIET THEM.
SHARP IS THE GRIEF OF A CHILD…TAKE IT FROM THEM.
SOFT IS THE HEART OF A CHILD...DON'T HARDEN IT.
On making decisions when your child wants an answer right away: “If you need an answer now, it’s NO; but if you let me think on it, it may be yes.”
“Laugh, and have fun with your kids.”
After all the introductions, our mentors joined the ladies at their table for more questions and conversation. Moms from other tables were encouraged to mingle with all of mentors.
During this chat time, moms also went “shopping” during our winter clothing exchange. Of course, this being Southern California, there weren’t too many parkas and mittens to choose from! All clothing left over will go to others in need, so thank you, ladies, for bringing items for our exchange.
Thank you to all of our wonderful mentor moms at Paznaz MOPS. We are blessed to have you!
