Happy Momma's Day!

---The phrase "working mother" is redundant. ~Jane Sellman

---The sweetest sounds to mortals given
Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.
~William Goldsmith Brown

---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

---A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done. ~Author Unknown

So thankful for my sweet mother on this Mother's Day. She gives and gives and gives and never expects anything in return. She is a true servant. Always willing to give what she wanted. Always willing to sacrifice what she needed. Always willing to run late so we can come too. Always willing to let us use the last little bit or perfume or lip gloss. Always eager to hear about our day. Always happy to run us somewhere instead of taking a nap. My Mother is a truly gifted servant. Her heart for us, her children, is deep and wide. She amazes me with her patience, generosity, and willingness to die to self. Her love for me gives me a glimpse at God's love for me, and her example of wisdom a glimpse at God's character. Apart from the Cross, she is the greatest blessing I've ever received. Mom, I love you.
