Senator Bunde was absent. Senator Gary Stevens moved and asked unanimous consent that Senator Bunde be excused from a call of the Senate from May 8 to evening plane time, May 11. Without objection, Senator Bunde was excused. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Senator Guess. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Before I give the Mother's Day prayer, I want to thank the members of this floor and in this building for the support you have given me as a new mother. And, we pray. Today, we pray and give thanks to You, Lord, for mothers. We pray for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though their children are away at college. We pray for all the mothers who show up at work with spit- up in their hair and milk stains on their blouses. 2005-05-08 Senate Journal Page 1454 We pray for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in their arms, wiping up vomit laced with Oscar Meyer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's okay honey, Mommy's here." We pray for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes. We pray for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat. We pray for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot. We pray for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the words to reach them. What makes a good mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips? The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time? Or is it in her heart? The emotions of motherhood are universal. We pray and give thanks today for young (and older) mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation… For mature mothers learning to let go. For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers. Single mothers, married mothers, stepmothers, and surrogate mothers. For our mothers here on earth and those with You, Lord. We pray and give thanks. Amen. 2005-05-08 Senate Journal Page 1455 Senator Wagoner led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
