▣ Flowers or Candy?

posted by Richard Rife on May 6th, 2010 at 5:21 PM

We have been a bishopric for about four and one-half years. There have been four Mothers Days during that time. The first year, we gave flowers, delivering them on the Saturday morning before Mothers Day. The past three years we have given Kara chocolates after Sacrament Meeting.

About a month ago in bishopric meeting, we began discussing whether to go back to flowers this year. I took the position that sisters prefer chocolate. However, my counselors and our ward clerk and executive secretary seemed to prefer flowers this time around.

Whenever I would raise the issue with a sister in the ward, her knee-jerk reaction was: candy! Still, after while, I yielded to peer pressure and agreed that my counselor, Dave Tobler, would order flowers, which he did.

No sooner had he ordered them, though, than his wife told him she preferred chocolates. So did other sisters. So he came back with the idea that he should cancel the flower order and I should do my yearly visit to Kara Chocolates in the mall.

Well, he did cancel the flower order--and I did make my annual visit to Kara Chocolates. And the sisters in our ward are receiving a nicely packaged (with a bow) five-pack of Kara Chocolates on Mothers Day.

There you have it.

Flowers last a few days. Chocolate lasts a long time as it adds to the beauty of the mom, via happiness, weight, etc.
