Motherhood

I enjoyed a beautiful Mother's Day. Breakfast in bed, flowers planted in my garden, beautiful primary children singing at church, what could be better?! Well, this handsome little boy with his arms wrapped around my neck, that's the very best thing. If that was all my Mother's Day had consisted of, that would have been enough.

“The ability and willingness properly to rear children, the gift to love, and eagerness … to express it in soul development, make motherhood the noblest office or calling in the world. She who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions deserves the admiration and the plaudits of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, … deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God”
-President David O. McKay (1873–1970)
