Motherhood


I have been working on my Young Women's lesson for this Sunday and came across this quote

by: President Thomas S. Monson


It is the mother who creates memories and righteous traditions. It is the mother who is the consistent force who never gives up on a child. It is the mother who stays up late and gets up early to work with a child to complete assignments and projects. It is the mother who worries. It is the mother who rolls with life’s punches and teaches her children to do the same. It is the mother who teaches her children, “There are no problems so great that we cannot solve,” and then sets about solving the world’s problems. God bless all the mothers of the earth. God bless all the homes of the world to develop and maintain righteous traditions.


It fits right in with my lesson, which is on "A Heritage of Righteous Traditions" and then of course, Mother's Day.


After reading this quote, it over whelms me to think about the responsibilities that my Heavenly Father has placed in my hands. To think that he actually trusts me that I won't totally blow it! I just hope I pass the test, when all is said and done?! I love the role of motherhood and the many lessons I have learned along the way.

I give this Lesson 18 next week. Great quote. I have been on a kick of collecting quotes and, your right, this one is perfect for the lesson.
