description: Listen to Your Mama.There is no substitute for the sometimes gentle, often hard-hitting, always loving wisdom of a mother. As children, we sometimes rolled our eyes or deliberately tuned out our mothers when they shared their colorful bits of common sense. Yet, as time wore on, we discovered the undeniable truth: Our mothers’ favorite sayings hold profound insights concerning the ways of the world. In fact, following Mama’s advice may well be the easiest, smartest, and most painless way to live and enjoy life. Who else but a mama would say:• Love is a noun and a verb–both at the same time.• Do your best. God will handle the rest. • Love is measured by the heart, not the head. • Can’t do a thing about yesterday; don’t know if tomorrow will come. Just workin’ with today.• When you fail to see the good in someone else, you miss an opportunity to learn and see a greater good in yourself.It is imperative that we not forget our mothers’ words, for within them can be found truths that will save us–and our children–much heartache and lead us to unlimited joy. Join Olga Samples Davis as she reflects upon, embraces, and celebrates a mother’s everyday inspirational lessons in living, inviting us each to rediscover the powerful truths revealed within Things My Mama Told Me.
