I want to wish a beautiful Mother's Day to all the women in my life-- whether they have children or not. Because I believe all women have the divine seeds of motherhood within them and just because those seeds haven't yet taken root yet doesn't mean that a woman isn't a mother (I wrote more here if you want to read more of my thoughts on this topic).
I also want to share one of my favorite quotes about motherhood. I think it captures the essence of why I feel motherhood is so important and why I have personally chosen to make it my "career" in life. It is by E.T. Sullivan:
“When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.”
(Oh, he is so little! This picture was taken when he was about 6 or 7 months old. Because alas, I still can't upload new pictures-- but it is fun to look back and see how fast they grow up)
