“There was never a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You Are a Work of Art + You Are a Piece of Work = You are God’s Masterpiece.” ~ Alexandria Sage

“How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about arithmetic and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman’s function is laborious because it is gigantic, not because it is minute.” ~ G.K. Chesterton

“Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together. ~ Pearl S. Buck

“Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.” ~ George Eliot

“There is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child – and an instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own.” ~ Robert Brault

“A mother’s hug never really does let go. Her child is gathered in the arms of her heart at all times.” ~ Alexandria Sage

Tribute to Mothers  

Those who’ve gone before us, those in our midst, and those mother’s to be; all the “other mothers” who mother any baby or kid who crosses the threshold of their hearts; and a special blessing to mother’s whose children preceded them in leaving this world too soon–may God wrap you in tender memories, grace, and comfort today.

Whether you chose to be a mother or if motherhood was handed to you, even if you’ve not birthed any children but love all the children in your world, we all know the path is unpredictable. Nothing is guaranteed. But one thing always remains.

And that is:
All the world loves you and couldn’t live without you at their side.

Constant, unchanging, guaranteed.
You are just the greatest!

Peace, Alexandria

I received the following video from my children. It brightened my day and made me smile. I hope it does the same for you. ~ EnJoy. 🙂
