What It Takes To Be A Mother...

She is patient and kind.

She is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.

She does not demand her own way.

She is not irritable, and she keeps no record of being wronged.

She does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.

She never gives up

She never loses faith,

She is always hopeful,

She endures through every circumstance.*

That is what being a mother is all about.


Holding my sick baby

(yup... still wants the wash cloth on his head - he still has a high fever, and the doctor confirmed a double ear infection.)

*Based on 1 Corinthians 13... Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
