Happy Mothers Day

Poets and philosophers, scholars and sages, have long believed that motherhood possesses the greatest potential for good or ill in human life. Children unconsciously model their parents’ manner, speech, and conduct. A mother’s habits often become a child’s pattern for living. A mother’s influence can be an incomparably powerful force for good. “Show me a mother who prays, who has passed through the trials of life by prayer, who has trusted in the Lord God in her trials and difficulties and her children will follow in the same path. Most mothers seem to have the God-given ability to nurture their children. They teach their children to work hard, to persevere, and most of all to love. They model kindness and respect. They maintain a positive attitude in the face of trials. Indeed, motherhood is the noblest responsibility in the world.

Thank you to all of the women in my life. You may not be my mother, but you have all taught me so much that I would be a lesser woman and mother without knowing you!
