Sara was a former student of mine (fifth grade) and remembered how she got in trouble with me.

Happy Mother's Day!

 

One of my fondest memories is of Mother taking me on the train to Chicago

where we had lunch at Marshall Field's and then went to the Art Institute.

We would always stop to view Mother's favorite painting,

Two Sisters on the Terrace,

before returning home on the train.

It was always a white glove day!

[Jesus said:] "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

"Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

"Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."
