"Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved,
wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously,
this is a role parents should fill, and most often the mother can do it
best."
"Let us all recognize that each of us is a son or daughter of our
Father in Heaven, who loves all of His children."
"Mother, who willingly
made that personal journey into the valley of the shadow of death to give
us birth, deserves our undying gratitude. One writer summed up our love for
mother when he declared, 'God could not be everywhere, and so He gave
us mothers.'
"While on the cruel cross of Calvary, suffering
intense pain and anguish, Jesus 'saw his mother, and the disciple
standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy
son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!' (John
19:26-27.) What a divine example of Gratitude and
love!"
