A mum's mark!

In view of today's special day, allow me to share an excerpt from a daily devotional Word for Today:

A little boy forgot his lines in the Sunday School play so his mother leaned over and whispered, "I am the light of the world." The child beamed, then with great feeling announced, "My mother is the light of the world!" We smile, but the truth is, mothers write on the hearts of their children what the hand of time can't erase. E.W. Caswell said, "It's only in [later] life that men gaze backward and behold how a mother's hand and heart...shaped their destiny." Chuck Swindoll adds: "If you were blessed with a good mother you reap the benefits the rest of your life. If your mother neglected your needs...much of what you suffered can't be erased. For good or ill, a mother's mark is permanent." So, Mum, what kind of mark are you leaving on the lives of your children?

Happy Mother's Day!
