Thought of the Day - May 8, 2009

From some who honored the love of a mother. - Hamilton Wright Mabie

"The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best."

There is no love like that of a mother. Nor is there a responsibility any greater. What encompasses great mothers is not just the adoring love that come naturally to most but the challenging love, that which pushes a child not only to meet the expectations of their mother but create new ones for themselves that far exceed their mother's wildest dreams. For challenging love paired with adoring love creates children who step out into the world believing they can do anything and knowing they have the unconditional support of a wonderful mother with them every step of the way!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers here on earth and all those resting peacefully in heaven!

Have a loving day and a wonderful weekend!
