A mother's love

It's official now! I have made the decision to leave the school I have worked at for 14 years and change grazing. :) For the past 4 1/2 years I have worked in the school administration and it has been a fun ride. I have learned so much from my great colleagues. This semester has been pretty rough for me. I have quite a commute to get to work and although I love driving and singing in the car, it takes time away from my family. So next fall I will be going back to teaching at a school a lot closer. It is still in the same school district that I am in now which I am really grateful about. And hopefully it is the right decision for me ~ and hopefully I can spend some more time with this precious little girl. Can you blame me?

A Mother's love is something

that no on can explain,

It is made of deep devotion

and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish

and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it

or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving

when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters

even though the heart is breaking . . .

It believes beyond believing

when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining,

it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret

like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendoured miracle

man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence

of God's tender guiding hand.
