Thank you. I am a mom of 4 (3 boys, 1 girls – ages ranging from 6 yrs to 19 yrs) and I have had weeks – nay, YEARS! – of feeling invisible, even to the Divine. The invisibility was compounded by years of emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, so while I understand what the article is saying, and while it wasn’t needed or necessary to have heard “thanks” all the time, it might have helped a torn, tattered and bruised single mom to hear it every once in a great while just to know that what I was doing was at least appreciated. It has only been in the last few years that I have been able to crawl out from the darkness and see that what I was doing during those years did, indeed, make a positive difference in my childrens’ lives.

To those moms out there – thank you for doing all that you can for your family, for your children, for the betterment of their lives. Even if someone is telling you that what you are doing is wrong, go with what your heart and soul is telling you is right, and know that it is appreciated.

thanks for sharing this wonderful story…I shall never be a mum unfortunately but I sure hope I build my own cathedrals for the people around me…thanks for the beautiful words, it brought tears in my eyes.. sometimes it’s hard to see what road you have to travel or why things happen in your life… I sure hope if I don’t build a cathedral I sure will build a nice birdshouse

I love this book! After reading it once I felt that every mother would need to read it at some point in their motherhood. I have never thought of cathedrals the same again…what a beautiful reminder of what I’m building into each day, moment by moment. Thank you for the reminder to take it off the shelf and read it again.

I’ve felt this way too many times to count and was in need of this reminder again today. Thank you … I’ll turn to it often, I’m sure
