Motherhood, the First Assurance

"Motherhood is the greatest potential influence for good or ill in human life. The mother’s image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child’s mind. It is her caress that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world."

~David O. McKay~

I Believe

"I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when He is silent."

~written on a wall during the holocaust~
