15 Inspiring Quotes About The Beauty Of Motherhood

What does motherhood mean to you?

Motherhood – A gift, a calling, a ministry, a blessing and a privilege to not just birth and nurture lives, but an opportunity to shape and influence the next generation.

While mothers are believed to be those who carry and birth a child, the true essence of motherhood gives us access to a heart and love so pure.

And so a mother is she who adopts and loves a child not born by her, she who reaches out to care for sick and less privileged children, she who embraces children of her spouse from a previous marriage, she who becomes a beacon of hope for children with a bleak future.

This is what motherhood truly means, unconditional love and service at its peak.  It is about making memories and impact that will last for a life time.

Here are 15 Inspiring Motherhood Quotes to help you see what motherhood really means.
