In preparation for Mother’s day, the elementary kids in the Bible Quizzing program at our church were asked to answer the question “Why my mother should be given the ‘mother of the year’ award.” Kids have a knack of putting things in a fun, simple way, and I thought you’d enjoy the answers.
- “Because she is loving and kind and helps me with my school and other things like Bible Quizzing. She helps me behave or I might misbehave.” — Seth, 11 years old
- “Because she helps in school and because she is special to me,
and I wish she will be here forever. ” — Jedi, 8 years old - “Because she helped me memorize my Bible Quizzing verses.” — Isaiah, 6 years old
- “Because she is so good and kind to me and helps me with my
school every day.” — Josephine, 13 years old - “She helps me with my school.” — Jeremy, 9 years old
- “Because she cooks for us, she buys us clothes, she helps us do school.” — Jared, 10 years old
- “Because she cooks all of the meals and helps me with school. She also makes me happy when I’m sad. I love her very much. That’s why she should be given the award.” — Jackson, 12 years old
- “She cooks meals, encourages me, wakes me in the morning, buys nice clothes for me, drives me to places, pizza on Friday night. Know’s what is best for me… Helps with school. Is cheerful and funny and not grumpy!” — Abigail, 11 years old
- “Because she makes pizza on Friday nights.” — Josiah, 8 years old [editors note - like they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!

67% mentioned school… I find that significant.
