Mother's Day

As I complete my Mother's Day lesson for primary, I have been pondering the circle of love in regards to mother's. I am so blessed to be a mother; to have my incredible mom and the other amazing women in my life. I am grateful for the amazing women that prepared a young boy to be my wonderful husband. ...It takes a village to raise a child... I believe that. There are so many women touching my children and reinforcing the things I am teaching them, or reaching them when I can't. Here are a couple of Mother's Day thoughts for you. Happy Mother's Day!

May each of us treasure this truth: One cannot forget mother and remember God. One cannot remember mother and forget God. Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one. –Pres. Monson

A Strong Woman Versus a Woman of Strength

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape. ....but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything. ....but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her. .... but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future. .... a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman walks sure footed. .... but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face. .... but a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey. .... but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...
