Pinky, a friend of mine since college, recently sending me a lot of text messages which I find very inspirational. I want to share it to all mothers out there and be inspired as well. Thanks Pinky!

"Giving love is the greatest treasure of our heart; and receiving it back is the treasure of our soul."

"If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not to go far to find it."

"In school... we learn before we take the test. In real life... we first take the taste, then we learn the lesson."

"Let this lent remind us that our life and material possession are just lent to us. We are all passersby... pilgrims on the road. We bring nothing when we die, but leave behind the LOVE we have shared, the HOPE we have given and the GOODNESS we have done."

"Be strong. Never tell yourself, "I am tired." The more you accept that thought, the more exhausted you'll become. But if you tell yourself, "I can do even more." You'll find that there are no limits to what you can accomplish. For God never gets tired of guiding you all the time."

"A great life starts when you stop wanting a better one. Not everything we want is exactly what we need. You are what you are and have exactly what you need as God intended it to be. He doesn't play dice with our lives. Accept that and you are guaranteed happiness and peace of mind."

"How wonderful if we could all learn: to love without condition, to talk without bad intention, to give without reason, and to care without expectation."

"Practice the Pause! When in doubt, pause; When angry, pause; When tired, pause; When stressed, pause; And when you pause PRAY!"

"Great friendship is about two things: First, is to find out the similarities.Second, is to respect the differences."

"Before you say I can't, make sure you've tried. Before you let doubts stop you, confront them with facts. Before fear holds you back, Go forward with faith. Before you believe others are better, Show them what you've got. Before you dismiss your dreams, strive until they've come true. Before you go looking for happiness, Make your own where you are. Bloom where you are planted."

"Time is like a river. We cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life."

"A great life is not about routine but doing something rare. To cherish and not to compare. To forgive, not to blame and to be loving without counting. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them. Joke over your troubles but gather strength from them. Have fun with your difficulties but overcome them. Life is a gift. Enjoy it and be assured that God is with you every step of the way. He will never leave you nor forsake you."

"Something to think about: If God solves your problem, you have faith in His abilities. If God doesn't solve your problem, He has faith in your abilities."
