Mother's Day is this Sunday and there's only one thing I want. It's something I've wanted for the past 7 or 8 years, but have yet to get. My husband in church with me and our kids. It's the greatest desire of my heart, to have my husband in church with us on Mother's Day and every church service after that until we die or Jesus returns. Whichever comes first. :-)

And now some quotes about mothers.
"The career of motherhood and homemaking is beyond value and needs no justification. Its importance is incalculable." -- Katherine Shor
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path." -- Agatha Christie
"I never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me 'mommy.' " -- Author Unknown
"I'd rather be a mother than anyone on earth
Bringing up a child or two of unpretentious birth...
I'd rather tuck a little child all safe and sound in bed
than twine a chain of diamonds about my carefree head.
I'd rather wash a smudgy face with round, bright, baby eyes
Than paint the pageantry of fame or walk among the wise."
-- Meredith Gray
"One good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters." -- George Herbert
"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child." -- Sophia Loren
"If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?" -- Milton Berle
"The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies." -- J.R. Miller
"I've carried a child within my body. I've slept with a baby on my chest. I have kissed boo boos, mended broken hearts, been puked and peed on, and spent sleepless nights in a rocking chair. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My body isn't magazine perfect, but when I look in the mirror I see a Mom, and there is no greater blessing."
"The phrase 'working mother' is redundant." -- Jane Sellman
"The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness." -- Honoré de Balzac
"An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy." -- Spanish Proverb
"She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn't take them along." -- Margaret Culkin Banning
"The sweetest sounds to mortals given
Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven."
-- William Goldsmith Brown
"The formative period for building character for eternity is in the
nursery. The mother is queen of that realm and sways a scepter more
potent than that of kings or priests." -- Author Unknown
"A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may
become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their
husbands. But a mother's love endures through all." -- Washington Irving
"Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother. " -- Moorish Proverb
