Mother’s Day Blessing

Mother’s Day Blessing
Just as God gives to each rose
A gentle touch of dew
And gives unto each evening sky
The lovely sunset’s hue

So may HE give to you
From His enduring love
Great happiness and hearts’ content
And blessings from above.

Happy Mother’s Day!I pray that you know how special you are. Whether your babies are near or far, Whether they come see or call or pretend you are not there…because of you-they are…HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO THE MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS

Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage of a child. Then the mother is born.

Erma Bombeck Quotes

Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop offs at tedium and counter productivity.
– Erma Bombeck

Mothers have to remember what food each child likes or dislikes, which one is allergic to penicillin and hamster fur, who gets carsick and who isn’t kidding when he stands outside the bathroom door and tells you what’s going to happen if he doesn’t get in right away. It’s tough. If they all have the same hair color they tend to run together.

Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.
