thoughts on the news of the day: mothers

hmmm…..

            Here are some of my favorite Mother’s Day quotes:

            “A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.”  ~Tenneva Jordan

            “Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.”  ~Author Unknown

            “I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me.  They have clung to me all my life.”  ~Abraham Lincoln

           

            “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”  ~Jewish Proverb

            “It kills you to see them grow up.  But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.”  ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

            “A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”  ~Washington Irving

            “Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”  ~Elizabeth Stone

            "Scotland, with her well-known reverence for motherhood, insists that an ounce of mother is worth more than a pound of clergy." ~ H. H. Birkins

            Tell someone you love: Happy Mother’s Day!
