Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! To my own mom, and to all of the moms in my life. I love you! Being a mother is a special calling and I'm so grateful to be able to have so many examples of wonderful mothers in my life. They do so much!! Including love, give their time, teach, and pray for their children, as well as others. I am excited to be able to follow in their footsteps when I become a mom someday. I found this talk by Sheri L. Dew about mothers that you should read if you have the time. I loved this quote from it: "For reasons known to the Lord, some women are required to wait to have children. This delay is not easy for any righteous woman. But the Lord's timetable for each of us does not negate our nature. Some of us, then, must simply find other ways to mother. And all around us are those to need to be loved and led." I'm so grateful to be loved and led by so many amazing mothers. Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all have a great day! ❤

Happy Mother's Day!

I am so grateful for my mother! She has taught me so much! She has taught me how to be helpful, how to be compassionate, how to be considerate, how to be kind, how to be loving, how to be honest, how to be resourceful, how to serve, how to be tender, how to be musical, how to be sweet, and how to be respectful. But mostly she has taught me how to be a daughter of God. I am so thankful for her and for her example. She is Super Mom and Wonder Woman because she takes care of all nine of us kids every day, and my little brothers are a handful–all six of them. She is my role model and she is my angel on earth. If I turned out to be half of who my mom is, I would be happy. I love her so much and I am so thankful that she is my mother. This song always reminds me of my mom. I am so thankful for all of the mothers in my life. I learn so much from each of them and I love them all so much. Happy Mother's Day!
