mother's day weekend - part II

The important thing is not how much we accomplish, but how much love we put into our deeds every day. That is the measure of our love for God.

~Robert BraultAll that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

~Mother Teresa Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
~William Makepeace Thackeray How do we love? Not in big things, but in small things with great love. There is so much love in us all. We must not be afraid to show our love.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty The mother's heart is the child's school-room.
~Henry Ward Beecher The most natural thing is the family life. What keeps the family together, what nourishes the life of the family together, is that surrender to each other; is that obedience; is that accepting of each other.
~Mother Teresa What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life...and most importantly, cookies.
~Rudolph Giuliani Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete.
