Spiritual Sunday ~ Mother's Day

Quotes about motherhood:

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” Honore’ deBalzac (1799-1850)

“Youth fades; love drops, the leaves of friendship fall; a mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1865)

“I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)



Speaking of prayer, here are a few scripture prayers a mother prays for her children:

May my children grow to find your Word “more precious than gold, than much pure gold and sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.” Psalm 19:10

Lord, let salvation spring up within my children, that they may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. Isaiah 45:8, 2Timothy 2:10

Let love and faithfulness never leave my children, but bind these twin virtues around their necks and write them on the tablet of their hearts. Proverbs 3:3.

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you Ginger and Charlotte, for hosting Spiritual Sundays.

    I'm sorry sister Mary but it was hard for me to concentrate digesting the quotes when I got to see the yummy, huge "cookie/cake"? that really looked so delicious. Couldn't help but I took a bite. Thank you!
    Kidding aside, I love the verses and the quotes you shared. There is nothing sweeter than His Word. Amen!
    Have a great Mother's Day and sorry for the crumbs I dropped on your floor :) Love ya.

A Surprise at the Mall

I lost touch with a writer friend.  I missed her and her cheerful blog posts.  We met up in a most unusual way!  I’m still in awe of how it happened. I finished my shopping at the mall and took a short cut to get to the parking lot.  The path led me through the food court.  The smell of Chicken Fajitas stopped me in my tracks.  I planned lunch elsewhere, but now I followed my nose. I chewed my first bite of chicken taco salad when, out of nowhere, a loud redhead moved rapidly past the tables and into the booth with me.  “I know you !”  She shouted.  I pondered if I knew this crazy lady.  Did she mistake me for someone else?  She shouted louder and stuck her finger in my face:  “ You’re Mary; you have a blog called Pile of Smiles and you live in the Verde Valley .”   It took me a second to compose myself.  I stopped chewing my food.  I know I stared too long at her face and then she said:...

Mama's Lipstick

I always wished I could do things with my mom like shop in the mall, share makeup secrets or go to the movies and watch romantic comedies.  My wish never materialized.     My mama behaved like a tomboy.   She loved baseball and pitched with a strong right arm.   She could care less about the latest fashion or the latest movies featured on the big screen.   She never polished her fingernails.    One day after elementary school, I walked into the house to find my mom all dolled up in front of the bathroom mirror, foundation crème, powder, eyebrow pencil and rouge all over the counter sink.  “Who are you?” I asked, thrilled to see my mama putting on the Ritz.  Makeup in place and blotted, she immediately took it off.  “I don’t like the way it feels,” she exclaimed. She retired in Arizona and protected her dry lips with a light rose lipstick, the color of natural lips, a step above ChapStick.  She wore it a few tim...

Hitched to a Rough Road

Photo Credit:  Peggy James I got his email and wanted to shout:  “Hey, buster, does the phrase “continued behavior pattern” mean anything to you?  But I didn’t. Travis is at it again.  His email revealed a litany of complaints about our neighborhood, our country road, our board officers, bad decisions made that will cost him money , yada-yada-yada . Travis is a Christian brother but you’d never know it. He is a large, loud man who shoots his mouth off as often as he shoots his guns back here in the hills.  He interrupts at our road meetings and, like a typical hothead, he speaks truth but with a tone that makes me feel like I need to duck in case some of his words fly at me and smack me upside the face. I thought we were making progress, but we’re not. It is our rough road that brings us together .  Last year we picked up the neglected pieces of our road association.  We agreed to assemble once again to talk, make decisio...
