A very Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful mothers in TB.

"Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together."
-Pearl Buck

Notice the Connection-Relationship:

MAMMALS (Any of various warm-blooded vertebrate animals of the class Mammalia, including humans, characterized by a covering of hair on the skin and, in the female, milk-producing mammary glands for nourishing the young)...MAMMARIES (a double mound, referred to as "the breast", which a newborn baby...with light sensitive, immature eyes needs to find, explore and glom onto for nourishment & calming...MAMMA (said to be among the first utterance of newborn babies globally)

Viva the generosity of all Madda's Mounds of Plenty...which gave us our first "comfort food" and our sense of bodily connection and intimate caring!

From My Chapel's Bulletin:

A Mother's Day musing.... about the greatest love of all.....

If you took the love of all the best mothers & fathers who ever lived (think about that for a moment) -- all the goodness, kindness, patience, fidelity, wisdom, tenderness, strength and love -- and united all those virtues in one person, that person would only be a faint shadow of the love and mercy in the heart of God for you and me.
