How many cares
does a
mother's heart know--
How many
joys
does a
mother bestow?
How many
heartwarming things
has she
said--
How many
tears
has she
secretly shed?
How many
smiles
has she
given away--
How many
kindnesses,
day after
day?
How many
dreams
has she had
for another?
Nobody
knows--
except for
a mother.
Thank you,
Mother,
for all
your love
and for the
way
you make
life special
all year
through.

OH MY!
What a task!....
M.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D...
I salute my Mom, and my Mother-in-law for passing the task with flying colors! How blessed I am to have these two women still active, healthy, and lovingly involved in my life. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When I read the following verses from Proverbs 31, I am reminded of what the Bible tells us that women should strive to accomplish.

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.

and opens her arms to the needy.

for everyone has warm[c] clothes.

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
