Mothers know what they are doing, you don't.

If you ask a woman about her mother then she will brag about how awesome her mother is. Then, if you ask her about herself she will not say much or have many positive things to say.

A job listing for a mother seemed impossible, because of what is expected of them.

Just when you think you have it all together things change and you realize that you don't.

Strength of women seems summed up by the word love.

This is an example of how we become diverse  through becoming one.

At a funeral so many paid respects for a man who thought no one would even take notice of him.

Recognizing that we are a child of God makes us all amazing and we need nit compare with how we are doing in comparison with others. Rathar than dwell on how much we need to accomplish  but on how awesome we truly are. Focus on the good around is and about us.

Prayer is always more productive when we actually talk about our day instead of merely thanking God for the day and asking him to bless the next one.
