I Love my mommy!

Hmmmm... A bunch of biographies about awesome people in history and how thier mother's influenced them to make a difference. That is awesome. Although there are some silly people in there like REba McEntire, there are cool people like the mother of Mother Theresa, C.S. Lewis' mom, and the man who write Amazing Grace and inspired William Wilburforce to fight against slavery--that guy's mom. Cool.

I learned that every mother has something different to offer her children. We don't have to be perfect in every aspect of motherhood to make a difference in our children's lives. God is working in us for the good of our children.

Very good. I am reading one a day. I already incorporated one mothers solution for poor grades. She reduced tv to two shows a week and the rest of the time they had to read and do book reports and her son became the man that seperated the first simamese twins. He became a brain surgeon.

Very inspiring to know all Mother's have challenges and if we trust in God, His wisdom will guide us to do the best we can no matter what situation we find ourselves.
