Encouraging Sunday #8: Happy Mother's Day

 
Photobucket

Mother is the sweetest word
that one could ever say:
It speaks of love and tenderness,
and quiet beauty
 day by day.

"It is upon the mothers of the present
that the future of the world depends,
in even a greater degree than upon the fathers,
because it is the mothers
who have sole direction of the children's early,
most impressible years.
This is why we hear so frequently
of great men who have had good mothers
-that is, mothers who brought up their children themselves,
and did not make over their gravest duty to indifferent persons."
Charlotte Mason Home Education

Mothering is a 'high calling', valued and treasured by God.  He sees the unseen sacrifice of devoting your life to your family.
I hope you're able to spend your day surrounded with those who appreciate and love you. 
God Loves You Too!

"He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart.
He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young"
Isaiah 40:11
