A Quote for Mothers

What a gorgeous gift--the gift of birth--placed within the realm of woman's possibilities.

Think of it.

Bach's mother gave him the gift of birth.
Luther's mother gave him the gift of birth.
Michelangelo's mother gave him the gift of birth.
Beethoven's mother gave him the gift of birth.
Without the conscious choice to make this often costly gift of birth . . . the gifts individual people have brought into the stream of history could not have been given.

Edith Schaeffer
