Thoughts on Motherhood






Amber and sifted through a box full of old photos. What we found amazed me. I mean, look at this picture. So many details of this moment flood my mind, facts, opinions, smells, sights, circumstances that our family was faced with during this time of our lives. These pics were taken while we were on vacation in the Smokey Mountains, Tennessee. Amber was in 2nd grade in Mr. Young's class, Nic was in first grade in Mrs. Gladwell's class and Hannah and Grace were both in Ms. Janis' age 3 & 4 year old Preschool class. I was teaching a fourth grade class of 24 super students. So, these are the beginning thoughts that sparked my interest and decisions to take some time and think about Motherhood.

Here are a few quotes on that subject :)...

  • The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one. -Jill Churchill

  • By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life...~ 2 Peter 1:3

  • Motherly love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. - M. C. Garretty
