Motherhood...

Motherhood....

I am taking an idea from Cameron's cousins blog! I want to post different thoughts from different mothers that have touched my life. So throughout the month of May I will be posting these thoughts that I have received from each one of them. I have enjoyed reading Kali's blog and feeling the spirit from all the mothers that have posted on her blog. We all have our stories and we all have our different experiences with being a mother. I know that being a mother also come from the things we have learned from our own mothers. So stay tuned, and enjoy the experiences that these mothers have shared. Let me know if you would like to contribute as well... I would love to hear from all of you!!!

Here is a great quote to start us out....

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
