“Loving others is only hard, when you haven’t begun to first love yourself.”  ~M

This is how you change the world

Love-Hands-1280x720

Today I learned that you do not have to change a million lives at once to make a difference. Aim to touch one life a day. Make an old man laugh or a child smile. Make someone feel loved. They will remember that love and spread it to others. That is how you change and light the world. You value and love each human being equally. We are all brothers and sisters since we are all children of God, and we must treat each other so. By taking things one day at a time and trying to touch one life at a time, the lives you’ve changed will add up and the love you’ve shared will spread like wildfire as it stretches across the world. By using globalization to spread such illuminating and infinite love, darkness doesn’t stand a chance.” ~Molly O’Leary

It’s been a a crazy hectic month here at the Cook house.  I am thankful for these three wonderful girls, who have made life a little bit easier through all the ups and downs.

Since all of their birthdays fall within a few weeks of each other, I wanted to wish them each, a very Happy Birthday! 🙂

I love you my sweet girls!  Life just wouldn’t be as wonderful without you, and I am forever grateful to God for blessing me with you!

Love,
~Mom  XOXO
