Motherhood

I came across this last night.  Mother's Day 2000 in front of my Mom and Dad's home. 
 I was a mother to just this little guy.  How quickly things change. 
 The changes in my life prior to this picture were hard, and painful and draining.
The changes to my life after this picture have been happy, inspired and breathtaking. 
 Amazing what life brings.  I love this little guy.  He made me a mother.

  A role so divine I sometimes feel unworthy. 
 I know Heavenly Father sent mothers here to help us get back to him. 

I think of my own mom.  She made sure we knew our Father in Heaven and how much he loved us.  She raised us in the light of his love  (insert my humming of "Teach Me To Walk In The Light Of His Love").  She prayed with us.  I love hearing my mom pray out loud. She got us to church each Sunday and made sure we went to Primary, Sunday school, Mutual, and Seminary.  I want to do the same for my children.  I will forever be indebted to my mom for all she did then and still does for me and my brothers and sisters.  I am so thankful our family can be together forever.  What would eternity be like without Mom?  I can't even imagine it.
