Next Saturday, May 11, at 8 a.m. at the LaPlace Holiday Inn, Get High on Life will sponsor a Mother’s Day breakfast. All mothers, grandmothers, mothers-to-be, and young girls who one day will be mothers are invited to attend.

The true heroines of our world will be honored and given the credit they deserve. It will be a time to honor mothers who have the most important job in these times.

What an awesome responsibility to be in charge of molding children to be God-fearing, loving, courteous, moral, kind, homes and productive human beings. There is no permanent imprint on a life more than the one made by a mother. A mother, more than anyone else, is the most influential in a child’s life.

The dictionary defines a mother as a female parent. This brief definition does not begin to describe what a mother really is. She’s on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Listed below are some quotes that attempt to describe the mother’s positive influence on a child’s life:

“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my mother. I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” — Abraham Lincoln

“As a mother, my job is to take care of the possible and trust God with the impossible.” — Ruth Graham Bell

“A mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, and it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking.” — Helen Steiner Rice

Motherhood is, without question, the most important job in the world. From the moment of the child’s conception, the mother is responsible for this miraculous life. Godly mothers are like fine collectibles. As the years go by, they increase in value.
