I Am A Mother


A friend of mine let me borrow this book. I think it applies to all women everywhere! It's a great pick-me-up! I especially love the imagery of being a "pencil in the hand of God". Jane Clayson Johnson quotes Mother Teresa: "I am like a little pencil in [God's] hand. That is all. He does the thinking. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it. The pencil has only to be allowed to be used." If you are on a quest to enjoy motherhood more fully, this book is a great one to read!

The Christmas Sweater

I just finished reading this for a book club. If you want to get in the mood for Easter, this would be a great way to do that. For Christmas would not be Christmas, if Easter hadn't happened. This book has helped me to take a look at my life and see what is most important. Make sure you keep a box of tissues handy for the end!
