Mother

So grateful, blessed and humbled to have such a special name, that of Mother. 

What a beautiful day spent with my littles as well as my own Mother. 

Today I re read my all time favorite talk on Motherhood 

"Because She is a Mother" 

On numerous occasions I have read this talk and gained strength from Elder Holland's words. 

I have shared this quote many times before but I love it so much, I will share it once again..

"You can’t possibly do this alone, but you do have help. The Master of Heaven and Earth is there to bless you—He who resolutely goes after the lost sheep, sweeps thoroughly to find the lost coin, waits everlastingly for the return of the prodigal son. Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be.

Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: “Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.” ¹⁰

Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And “press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.” ¹¹ You are doing God’s work. You are doing it wonderfully well. He is blessing you and He will bless you, even—no, especially—when your days and your nights may be the most challenging. Like the woman who anonymously, meekly, perhaps even with hesitation and some embarrassment, fought her way through the crowd just to touch the hem of the Master’s garment, so Christ will say to the women who worry and wonder and sometimes weep over their responsibility as mothers, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.” ¹² And it will make your children whole as well". ~Jeffery R. Holland 

Today as I thought about those words it once again gave me comfort knowing that we are not alone in this huge role as parents. That we DO have help and we know where to turn. I love that He is so willing and ready to help us with whatever it may be.
