When I look on my growing posterity, I am reminded of the blessings of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob of the Old Testament, and I am deeply humbled and blessed to share in that heavenly abundance. Each and every one of the special spirits God sent to our home showed His trust in my husband and I to care for them as He cares for them, to love them as He loves them. That He found ME (excess baggage and all) worthy enough to be their mother continues to amaze me, and despite the trials that they have faced in their individual lives - and will continue to face - they have grown into righteous men and women of God who do their best to live the gospel of Christ, and with their amazing spouses, strive to raise their children in righteousness to the best of their ability.
I am so proud of them, and though I am sure there will be days every now and again when I will suffer a mother's sorrow over them, my joy is full, because the Lord looked on me in this life with favor.
However, even if I had not been blessed with my wonderful family in this life, I believe with all my heart that I would have been blessed with them in the next, should I have been found worthy of the blessing, because that is the kind of father our Heavenly Father is. He never forgets any of His sons and daughters, as long as we never forget Him.
So, to all you beautiful women, those with children and without, have an awesome Mother's Day!
Lots of love to you!
