MOTHERS OF FAITH!

Two of the most remarkable Mothers I know!

Sun, May 13

     What a special Mother's Day!  We enjoyed a yummy lunch and pleasant afternoon with Grandma in her front yard.  She looked absolutely beautiful!  Every time I see my Mom I am struck by how beautiful she is.  The Lord described it best when He described Emma as an "Elect Lady."  That is how all of us feel about our Mom and Grandma.

     As I thought about all the things that make our Grandma an "Elect Lady" I realized that it is her faith, grace and joyful attitude in welcoming every task and challenge in her life that has molded her into the MOTHER OF GREAT FAITH that she is!  

     As we visited throughout the afternoon, I watched and admired all of the Mothers and one-day-to-be Mothers in our family and was touched deeply by the beauty and reverence I feel for motherhood.  I thought of our Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness and the role mothers play in His great plan.  What a joy and an honor it is to be a Mom!!!

     And that is just a small part of the remarkable vision of Motherhood we experienced yesterday as a family gathered around our beautiful Mother and Grandmother!  We are so blessed to have such a beautiful example and guiding light!
