Moms and Memories and Love

Today I did not have to look far to find a bit of love to share with you. A visit with Sara Duggan was emotional as well as inspirational. Sara's Welcome 2013 post for New Year's Day centers on mother love.

While reading Sara's blog post and listening to the video song she shared in her article, I was reminded (through a teardrop or two) of how mothering is not always easy, for the mom nor for the child. Yet, I smiled, for as I read and listened memories of my mom and of my son flooded my mind. For awhile I allowed only the memory of good times as a mother and as a child to enter my stream of thought.

Thank you, Sara!

And yes, I will share my own creation of the day, inspired by Sara Duggan...

Did visiting with Sara inspire childhood or motherhood thoughts of love within you?

 

 

I invite you to share those loving thoughts here today. Better yet, why not publish a blog post of your own about love and link up with SHARE the LOVE blog hop!

 

Throughout 2013 I will be blogging each day on the topic of love. You can link up with me any (or every) day to share your own posts on the topic of love.

Embarrassing Moments

"Hooray, it's Saturday," my belly bellows as I slip out of bed. I give it a rub to shut it up so as not to awaken my three sister siblings who still lay scattered on the double bed like a pile of worn out clothes. I listen for sounds from the outer room. I hear only the television, thankfully. This means only Mom is up and maybe, just maybe, my hungry belly and I can have a moment alone with her to convince her to take us to church for the free lunch and clothing bank.
