Kindness and the Heart of a Mother

The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.”
~ St. Therese of Lisieux

Moms helping moms.  Always.  Even on Mother’s Day weekend. 

A single mom in our neighborhood was having a birthday party for her elementary school-age children.  But she had a cake emergency – a special decoration that she had ordered for the cake was not working.  Another mom, who had gone to drop off her children at the party, took the cake and ran it over to the grocery store to get it decorated.

And the same weekend, a high school mom was having a prom dress emergency.  One of her daughters needed a prom dress in less than a week and had not been able to find anything.  So this mom called one of her childhood friends, a fashion designer.  The designer was out of town, but had her daughter, who works with her, find a dress that would work and make the necessary alterations in time for the big event.

The “loveliest masterpiece,” a mother’s heart has room, love and kindness not only for her children, but also for other mothers and theirs.
