Learn from our Children


“Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3–4).

What is it we should learn from children? What qualities do they possess and what examples do they demonstrate that can help us in our own spiritual development?

These precious children of God come to us with believing hearts. They are full of faith and receptive to feelings of the Spirit. They exemplify humility, obedience, and love. They are often the first to love and the first to forgive.

Mother's Day


I thought these quotes were cute.
"We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves."
"Who is getting more pleasure from this rocking, the baby or me?"

I am grateful for the opportunity to be a mother. There is nothing else in this life that has brought me as much joy. The great big moments of achievement and love also the small quiet moments of watching your child do the simplest thing. It warms the heart. Its unbelievable how full my heart can be. Its a true love, this love I imagine is a glimpse of how we will feel when we return to our Heavenly Father. What pure joy to be with him and our children.
