Happy Mother's Day

I hope that all of you mommies out there have had a fantastic day today. Sometimes I feel like the world's worst mother and other times, like today when I opened the little gifts that my children have so painstakingly made for me, I feel like I must be doing something right. It's hard work. Maybe the very hardest ever. I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I love this quote by Sheri L. Dew: "The subject of motherhood is a very tender one, for it evokes some of our greatest joys and heartaches. ...As daughters of our Heavenly Father and as daughters of Eve, we are all mothers and we have always been mothers. And we each have the responsibility to love and help lead the rising generation. ...If we really want to make a difference, it will happen as we mother those we have borne and those we are willing to bear with...My dear sisters, whom I love more than I know how to express, will you rise to the challenge of being mothers in these perilous times, though doing so may test the last ounce of your endurance and courage and faith? Will you stand steadfast and immovable as a mother in Israel and a woman of God? Our Father and His Only Begotten Son have given us a sacred stewardship and a holy crown in their kingdom. May we rejoice in it. And may we be worthy of Their trust."

Happy Mother's Day to all of the women I know and love and thank you for your influence and guiding example to me.
