Mother's Day

This is my first Mother's Day without my husband. He isn't able to call me today either, so I will look forward to him calling within the next week :)

I was thinking today what it all meant to me and I know for me, I didn't appreciate my Mother fully until I had children of my own. Also, the more my children grow and challenge me the more I love my Mother! It's a feeling you just can't discribe.

I feel truly blessed to be a Mother. Our Father in Heaven has entrusted me with two of his special spirits. It is my responsibility to teach them as much as I know about Heavenly Father and their true meaning of being on this earth. Giving them the tools of prayer, scriptures, faith, and knowledge to guide them through this crazy life. There are always hiccups in the road where we fall off track or do things we know to be wrong, but knowing that our God is a kind and forgiving God and having the knowledge of how to ask and get forgiveness is an eternal gift.

Coming to earth is all about building the Kingdom of God. Doing God's will  can give us blessings beyond imagination and a deep understand of one's true potential. I do feel that most of us fall very short of our potential, myself included. I strive everyday to be the best I can be and I know that in return Heavenly Father gives me the blessings that will help me better understand Him and his will.

I hope that this Mother's Day you can thank all the women in your life who have influenced you for the good and set the example for you. I hope that you can feel humbled to know that God and his son Jesus Christ Love you. They will guide you, and carry you when you fall.
