Favorite Scriptures, Poems, & Quotes
Mothers are rare combinations,
They're teachers and nurses and wives;
Mothers not only have babies,
They baby them all of their lives.
Don't look at her wrinkles and wonder
What caused them to be on her face,
They are furrows where she has plowed under
Life's troubles she wants to erase.
Mothers are creatures of habit,
Their habit, to work with
a
smile;
Mothers are angels in aprons
Who God lends to us for awhile.
Whenever our Mothers must leave us,
There must be
a
smile on God's face;
He has no intention to grieve us,
Mothers just help Him brighten His place.

THE ART OF PARENTHOOD
Our children are watching us live, and what we
are shouts louder than anything we can
say.
When we set an example of honesty, our
children will be honest.
When we encircle them with love, they will be
loving.
When we practice tolerance, they will be
tolerant.
