“There is no end to the good we can do, to the influence we can have with others. Let us not dwell on the critical or the negative. Let us pray for strength; let us pray for capacity and desire to assist others. Let us radiate the light of the gospel at all times and all places, that the Spirit of the Redeemer may radiate from us.” Gordon B. Hinckley
Sometime ago I said I
Loved you sixty ways
And counted them
To you.
But now I know I cannot
Count my love by
Any days.
My very breath is mine
Because you dared
To give your life that I might
Live.
Each day you gave to
Me that I might give
To mine
In my appointed time.
I cannot give to you
What you gave me
But to my own I pass
The torch
Then anxious, wait to
See
If they will pass to theirs
What you gave me
S. Dillworth Young
From my boy…long ago…age 6
“A bird in the hand is soft.”
“Let a umbrella be your umbrella.”
“A rolling stone gathers no love.”
“All that glitters is not rock.”
“Silence is sleeping.”
“When the cat’s away it is funr.”
“Every cloud has a rain drop in it.”
“Don’t cry over a crayon.”
“If you can’t stand the heat get a popsicle.”
“People who live in glass houses get light.”
It’s as simple as that.
In preparation for Mother’s Day–I’ve been thinking about some of the movie moms that have really struck a cord with me. So, for the past few days—I’ve been making a list of some of my favorites. Now, I’m not trying to convince you to like a movie or a character–just because I do, but I’m curious to see if any of you feel the same about some of these moms. I’ve also noticed a common thread in many of these ladies, and that is, that they are positively ferocious if someone messes with their child. I guess I like that a lot. I’ve even added a couple of clips—so be sure to click on the links.
“Step Mom“
I hope you’ll pick at least one of these movie from your stash or from Blockbuster and watch it before the big day. It will really get the mom vibes working.
Let me know if you have any favorite moms in the movies that I’ve missed. Please–please comment below. It’s the only way I know I’m not on the planet alone.
