Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail. This experience makes you become God’s own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child’s first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life. – Saint Pope John Paul the Great
I had a quiet Mother’s Day, which could not have been more perfect for me. No big fuss or gifts, just a good homemade meal (that I didn’t have to cook!) and a lot of laughter. What more could a gal ask for? I’m so grateful for this vocation and for the six souls God has entrusted to my care.
