Since it is that time in life when you my children are starting to leave the safety of my home; you are headed out to discover who you are, what you believe, and what you will stand for.
I no longer have the opportunity to share a mom moment with each of you at family home evening so I thought that I would start a weekly "mom moment".
I recently went to the temple to figure out the my roll as a mom as each of you are getting older. I discovered that my new role as a mom is to be your calm in your storm and your anchor when you yourselves are not feeling anchored.
The mothers of the Stippling Warriors have always have been my hero's. Because like them I want my children to be able to say " we do not doubt our mothers knew it" Alma 56:48
“How is it that a human being can love a child so deeply that you willingly give up a major portion of your freedom for it? How can mortal love be so strong that you voluntarily subject yourself to responsibility, vulnerability, anxiety, and heartache and just keep coming back for more of the same? What kind of mortal love can make you feel, once you have a child, that your life is never, ever your own again? Maternal love has to be divine. There is no other explanation for it. What mothers do is an essential element of Christ’s work. Knowing that should be enough to tell us the impact of such love will range between unbearable and transcendent, over and over again, until with the safety and salvation of the very last child on earth, we can [then] say with Jesus, ‘[Father!] I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.Elder Holland, Oct. 2015
I want each of you to know that I will love you no matter what choices you make and the pathways you may take. I will always be the calm in the storm and your anchor.
Here is a song that I like, and if at the end of each day you don't feel this way then let me know because I need to change. Mother's Love
All my love, mom
