A mother's love is a sanctuary, Where our soul can find sweet rest, From the struggle and the tension, Of life's fast and futile quest.

It takes a Mother's Patience, to bring a child up right, And her Courage and her Cheerfulness to make a dark day bright.

Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; Teach us to be patient and always to be kind.

You cannot change reality, but you can control the manner in which you look at things. Your attitude is under your own control. Weed out the negative and focus on the positive!

For a mother's love is fashioned, After God's enduring love, It is endless and unfailing, Like the love of Him above.

A wee bit of heaven drifted down from above, a handful of happiness, a heart full of love.

So every year when Christmas comes, I realize a new, the best gift life can offer is having friends like you.
