Mother's Day

“There is no nobler career than that of motherhood at its best; there is no higher height to which humanity can attain than that occupied by a converted, heaven-inspired, praying mother.” Elizabeth Elliot

“There are certain old truths which will be true as long as this world endures. One of these is that into the [mother’s] keeping is committed the destiny of the generations to come after us. Her task is not easy—no task worth doing is easy—but when she has done it, there shall come to her the highest and holiest joy known to mankind, and she shall have the reward prophesied in Scripture, for her husband and her children shall rise up and call her blessed.” Theodore Roosevelt
