All that I am or hope to be I owe to my mother. I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all of my life.
Abraham Lincoln
I pray my sons will say the same thing about me someday…..that they always knew that I prayed for them……believed great dreams for their lives…….pleaded on their behalf when they didn’t know how to believe for themselves…..stayed awake way into the early mornings praying that I would keep my mouth shut……and let God handle it……and that they always knew that in the end I believed…..”Our Heavenly Father” really does know best…..He will never disappoint……not ever…. Oh…and that He is never late….but always “on time”.

this made me think of you
“Ahimsa means infinite love, which again means infinite capacity for suffering. Who but woman, the mother of man, shows this capacity in the largest measure? She shows it as she carries the infant and feeds it during nine months and derives joy in the suffering involved. What can beat the suffering caused by the pangs of labour? But she forgets them in the joy of creation. Who again suffers daily so that her babe may wax from day to day? Let her transfer that love to the whole of humanity, let her forget that she ever was or can be the object of man’s lust. And she will occupy her proud position by the side of man as his mother, maker and silent leader. It is given to her to teach the art of peace to the warring world thirsting for that nectar.”
-Gandhi, Harijan, February 24, 1940

Never forget what an awesome Mom you are and continue to be… your life makes a great statement to your boys, and always will. They know Him because of you and how you have lived your life…trust Him to complete that process in each of them… in His time

I am learning the hard way that i should just tape my mouth closed or bite my tongue. I am a slow learner.
Joining you in prayer….
