Happy Mother’s Day

A Newborn’s Conversation with GodA baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"  God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."  The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy. God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you and you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."  "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"  God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." Who will protect me?"  God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."  "But will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."      At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."                                                                

God said, you will simply call her, "Mom."

We’re SistersWe’re DaughtersWe’re Mothers…how blessed we are……how blessed am I to have you in my life

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never existed before.  The woman existed, but the mother, never.  A mother is something absolutely new.  ~Rajneesh

Being a Mom……being an Aunt…

…being a Grandmother…

The Early Years

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.-- Erma Bombeck (1927-1996), American newspaper columnist and author.

Motherhood is a Journey

The strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.-- Barbara Kingsolver (1955- ), American author.

Sons & Daughters, Nieces & Nephews…

Grandchildren

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.-- Agatha Christie (1890-1976), English novelist and playwright.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. You are connected to your child and to all those who touch your lives. A mother always has to think twice: once of herself and once for her child.-- Sophia Loren (1934- ), Italian motion-picture actor.

We are together, my child and I. Mother and child, yes, but sisters really, against whatever denies us all that we are.-- Alice Walker (1944- ), American author and poet.

There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness. The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way.-- Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), seventh president of the United States (1829-1837).
