I am not Mormon but I saw this video on another blog and felt it was a great message to share with all mothers, Mormon or not. I hope you will watch it and really take in the message. Mothers, you may think your work is unnoticed or that it is not "real" work but the truth is there is no job anywhere that is more important or that makes a more lasting impact here or in the eyes of our Lord.
What a wonderful message! Thank you so much for sharing that. It is pretty easy to forget how important our job is when we are in the trenches sometimes.
I agree that motherhood is one of those things that's hard to "measure," so it can often be discouraging or frustrating because you can't always (or ever?) visibly see the results, except in your kids. And on days when they're being rebellious or challenging or tell you they don't love you, that can make it all the harder. So it's great to stop and remember what a huge, important task it is--definitely God-given and immensely helped by his grace!
The newest addition to our growing brood. is M, the sweet 16 year old who came into our family when we met him at church. I may not have given birth to him but I love him just the same.
Buttercup
Our darling daughter. She adds a touch of "girly" to our otherwise masculine brood. She loves graphic tee, music of all kinds, Justin Bieber and Twilight. She is a little sweet and a whole lot sassy. She is witty, spunky, silly and fun.She is beautiful inside and out and hearts overflow with love for her.
Sunshine
Our first born son has a smile that can light up the world, eyes that sparkle and eyelashes every girl dreams of. He is thoughtful,charming and sweet. He loves running,jumping and climbing. He is sometimes stubborn, sometimes dramatic and always the leader of the pack. He is our sunshine and we love him to the moon and back.
Bobcat
Our tractor man. He loves mowers, diggers and backhoes. He is loud, cuddly and funny. Always into something he is all boy and we could not love him more.
Bulldog
Our little man is a sweet little soul with curly hair and big blue eyes. He loves being outside, playing in the sand, swimming and chocolate milk. He is always on the go and a cuddler to the extreme. He is such a joy and a blessing and our love for him abounds.
Mr. Personality
A happy, healthy, bundle of boy! Lots of reddish hair, big blue eyes and a smile that melts hearts.This little one is loved and adored.
