i think all babies are beautiful... if i could i would have a million of them. i am learning quickly that each child is uniquely different, even brothers can be almost opposite.
in my lefetime i have had many jobs, and carried out a few callings in the church. but none has been more challenging or more rewarding then my calling to be a mother.
President David o McKay Said
“[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”
i know i am far from being even a great mother but i have many wonderful examples in my own life. my mother is amazing. she is and continues to be an example to me! she has endured much and has shown me time and time again of the importance of faith. my mother-in-law is also a great example to me and i am greatful to her and for all the things she has tought me in the past 4 years. i love them both!
i hope i can live up to the blessings that I have recieved and will recieve from being a mother.
