"The Joy Of Being The Mama"

"Hannah"

Today is such a special day when we have the opportunity to remember Mother's. What a beautiful opportunity it is for me to reflect on my own sweet children and how grateful I am to be their Mama. This post is a little harder for me to write, due only to the fact that I can barely talk about what a joy it is for me to be a mother, let alone write down my feelings without crying. I am not always very eloquent, and I wish that there were words beautiful enough, or strong enough to describe how I feel about my sweet children. I have felt truly blessed and honored to have had the chance to be a Mother, and to have been a Mother to such choice and precious little ones. My children have brought unmeasurable joy into my life, and I have often felt inadequate of such a tender calling. I cannot imagine my life without these special little ones, and I feel honored every time they call me Mama. I love you little ladies, and to all of you AMAZING Mother's out there, I hope that today is such a special day for you!

One of my most favorite quotes about Motherhood, was by Sheri Dew in the January 2002 Ensign. She said,

"As mothers in Israel, we are the Lord’s secret weapon. Our influence comes from a divine endowment that has been in place from the beginning. In the premortal world, when our Father described our role, I wonder if we didn’t stand in wide-eyed wonder that He would bless us with a sacred trust so central to His plan and that He would endow us with gifts so vital to the loving and leading of His children. I wonder if we shouted for joy at least in part because of the ennobling stature He gave us in His kingdom. The world won’t tell you that, but the Spirit will".
