“Love is a sacrifice; and to sacrifice for Love’s sake is a joy. – St.” Josemaria Escriva

Love and sacrifice go together.  You typically will sacrifice things for the ones you love because you want to make them happy.  I think there are three types of love.  The first is the love a mother has for her child, the second is the love between a man and a woman, and the third is the love between friends.  For each one of these loves, there is a different level of sacrifice each person is willing to make.  The love that needs the most sacrifice is what a mother does for her child.  A mother sacrifices so much for her children.  A mother will sacrifice money, time, and there life for their children. 

    Mothers spent lots of money on their children for clothes, food, and other things.  My mother buys more clothes for me than she does for herself. She makes sure my brother and sister and I are fed before she feeds herself. She also buys me lots of electronics and cool stuff so I can be happy.  My mom works really hard for her money and spends most of it on keeping my brother, sister, and I happy. 

      Mothers also sacrifice time.  They usually never get to hang out with their other friends because they have to hang out with their kids.  They spend a lot of time taking kids to activities or cheering you on at games. My mom even takes time to coach my brother and sister’s soccer team. After all the stuff she does for us kids, there is little time left for her.

      Last but not least Mothers would sacrifice their life for their children.  This would be the ultimate sacrifice for love. Mothers love their children so much that they would rather save their child’s life instead of their own.   Mothers would not stop and think before jumping in the water if their child was  drowning. They would also jump in front of a bullet for you.  I know my mother would risk her life to make sure that I was safe and not hurt. 

Mothers sacrifice so much for their children and love them  so much. I appreciate everything my mom has done for me and I love her so much.  I think that my mom is the best mom in the world.
