Sandra the giver . . .
ReplyDeleteThank you for these bits of "mother wisdom."
Hope you enjoyed a great day and were treated royally for all the "mothering" you provide on Thistle Cove Farm!
I love to read all your quotes. They are so appropriate for the day. Do you know I must forgive myself at least a dozen times a week!!! Thank God I know how to do that. Hugs, LJ
ReplyDeleteI love the quote by Abraham Lincoln....a favorite. I love stopping by here.
ReplyDeleteYou made it hard to choose a favorite! The Mark Twain quote made me chuckle, and I really love the Lincoln one, too. Lots of good ones!
ReplyDeleteI also love that Lincoln quote. The thought of a mother's prayers clinging to one... I hope my prayers hang on to my children that way.
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra!
ReplyDeleteLovely mother-y quotes today!
I think the songs that come out of our mouths when we rock a baby are holy. Babies don't complain. I think we need lullabies, too. I remember singing to myself as much as the babies.
I'm so thankful for a mother and father who prayed steadfastly for me--I needed lots of prayers!
ReplyDeleteBlessings sweet friend!!! I'm so thankful for my God fearing mother!
ReplyDeleteI am so very thankful for my mother, she is a wonderful, kind, intelligent and loving mother. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I hope that you have been well. Are things coming back together after the pipes bursting? Have Spring arrived and perhaps you are getting a little rest from the long winter?
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet image. I hope you had a wonderful mother's day.
