Elizabeth Barrett Browning

What an enormous leap of faith is made when a woman makes a decision to have a child! To carry another person around in your body for just under ten months, endure labor and delivery, and that watch and encourage and help that new person become an individual and a citizen of the world. What a huge responsibility; what an enormous labor of love! What gives you that faith, that strength, that hope? It is love.

For all the Moms out there, today isn't just about flowers and chocolates and crayon and construction paper greeting cards. Or brunch at the local hotel restaurant. Today is the day to step back and look at the results of your faith and love. Congratulations! And Happy Mother's Day!
