My Mother-in-law

Maria Ferreira

 

Some people all the time say: "my mother-in-law is bad", or "my mother-in-law is not nice with me", or "my mother-in-law is not cool". But I have only good things to say about my mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law is short but she has a lap that is big enough to hold the world in her arms.

My mother-in-law didn't go to high school but her words contain all the wisdom of the world.

My mother-in-law is beautiful but my favorite part of her body is her face. It has lines all over. She says: 'They are wrinkles'. But I say: 'They are her story lines', because she has a story for every single wrinkle on her face.

She had ten children but she lost two of them. Now she has eight children - five sons and three daughters, five daughter-in-laws and three son-in-laws and eighteen grandchildren.

She prays every single day for all her family. I know God hears her prayers, because she has a close relationship with God.

I love my mother-in-law because she gave me my biggest treasure - my husband. I thank God for my mother-in-law.

May God give her many healthy years.
