A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
**Peace to you this day**

Thank you Becky. Your post was so appropriate for me today. Last year on this day my sweet mom had a stroke. It was the start of a journey I'll never forget. She passed away 10 days later. May our Mother the Virgin Mary comfort you bless you.
