The emotions, that we as children, secure in our hearts for a loving mother is indescribably deep. The thought God put into creating such a wonderful caretaker, provider of counsel, a shoulder to cry on, pilar of strength and a soft place to land is unmatched. We’re so humbled by His insight about our needs that we can only say “Thank You” for such a sweet gift.
