Everyone is “Born of Woman”, so everyone has a birth mother. Some of us are fortunate enough to have a Mom ❤️ A nurturer, giver, teacher… A person above & beyond all others in your life. I am blessed by the fact that I still have my Mom!

We are having Lunch together today 💥
Proverbs 31:25: “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”

I think this bible verse sums up a Mothers Love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
My wife is being celebrated today as well as my sister and many many great Moms that I know ❤️
“Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.”
~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the Moms out there! What in the world would we have done without you! ❤️
~ Mark C.
