Can I Count On You?

A few years back, I was having a late-night conversation with a long-time buddy of mine.

I’m not sure where, but I read somewhere once, “God couldn’t be everywhere all at once, so he created Mothers.” Wow, that’s for sure. I’m pretty sure that my job each day is one that not everyone could do, and it suits me well. I’m certain that the daily job as a Mother is one … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
