Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

I am so greatful for both of our mother's. I love my mom and my mother in law. These are two of the most amazing women in our lives. My mom has taught me so much and helped me become the person I am today and my mother in law raised a great young man who has made an excellent husband for me. We Love You Both!

I am not going to lie, mother's day is one of the hardest days of the year. It's a day that reminds me that as much as I've tried I can't have children. But it is also a great day to remember all our mothers have done for us. A friends blog that I frequently read posted this quote that I really like.

“To those who are barren and unable to bear offspring, our deepest sympathy is extended. Let us quote for the consolation of those who are not blessed with the procreative power a statement from the Prophet Brigham Young: ‘Let me here say a word to console the feelings and hearts of all who belong to this Church. Many of the sisters grieve because they are not blessed with offspring. You will see the time when you will have millions of children around you. If you are faithful to your covenants, you will be mothers of nations. You will become Eves to earths like this, and when you have assisted in peopling one earth, there are millions of others still in the course of creation. And when they have endured a thousand million times longer than this earth, it is only as it were at the beginning of your creation. Be faithful and if you are not blessed with children in this time, you will be hereafter.’ "(Deseret News, Vol. 10, p. 306, October 14, 1860.) (Spencer W. Kimball, fireside address delivered in San Antonio, Texas, 3 Dec. 1977, 24–26).
