Next Sunday is Mother’s Day. Just wanted to remind you to consider how you may be an encouragement to those around you who may not be mothers but want to be.
“Oh, who knows, it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.”
The disguise is very convincing.” – Vanity Fair
“I don’t understand why some kids git a good school and mother and father and some don’t.” – Push by Sapphire, p. 139
“It matters not what you fight but what you fight for.” – Mouseguard, Fall 1152 by David Petersen
“It is easy to give way to thoughts, emotions, and desires that should no longer rule us, and easy to be more defined by our problems than by the grace of Christ.” – How People Change by Timothy Lane and Paul Tripp, p. 117
“Who said I can’t be single and have to go out and mingle / Baby that’s not me, no, no” – “La La Land” performed by Demi Lovato
“It has nothing to do with the way she looks. It has everything to do with who she is.” – George Clooney on Julia Roberts being named People‘s Most Beautiful
“I shiver, thinking about how easy it is to be totally wrong about people – to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole, to see the cause and think it’s the effect or vice versa.” – Before the Fall by Lauren Oliver, p. 385
“Well, usually I learn more from my sheep htan from books,” he answered. – The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, p. 5
“It’s weird how much you can know about someone without knowing everything. You’d think someday you’d come to the end of it.” – Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, p. 96
“You can’t be mean to someone forever and then feel bad when she dies.” – Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, p. 176
I just read Before I Fall and it really stuck with me, too. Nice to come across another YA Book enthusiast, by the way!
I think I have to read “Before I Fall.” Wow. And thanks for reminding us that not everything is always as it looks and Mother’s Day can be especially hard. When I was single I longed to be married and have children. When I married at 30, I longed for babies and went through infertility until I had my daughter at 34. Mother’s Day was often unbearable. Thank you for reminding us to be sensitive to that. And I need a few of these quotes stapled to my forehead!
Such an interesting combination of quotes – I love them!
Thanks for your comment on my blog! Nice to meet you! :)
You’re right – our life is a big adventure right now! :)
I hope it’ll be soon peaceful daily life…
I really like many of these quotes!
Have a great day! Now I have to run again……….
Melissa: Not the favorite of what I’ve read lately, but it was good.
Robynn: It IS good, but there are better YA books out there.
Megan: Yep, I definitely get them from everywhere!
