I seem to need a constant stream of reminders that motherhood is a noble calling and that it is in the moments that our rewards come. I find myself dealing with the daily grind looking forward to bedtime all too often, but one thing that has helped me enjoy the evening more with my kids is to put the younger ones down before the older ones and then we each read our individual scriptures with Dad and the older ones and talk about it afterward. It has given us such a great spiritual ending to the day and it's a routine that I always hope to maintain. Thanks for sharing your strength and love for mothering!<br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140632782930993596.post-87363831350598244102010-05-16T16:11:06.373-05:002010-05-16T16:11:06.373-05:00No wonder General Conference was so focused on Mot...No wonder General Conference was so focused on Motherhood this last time. Motherhood is under attack like nothing else! We need to remember what a great responsiblity it is, and also what a priviledge. What a great mom you are. I know you are a great example to may other women!

I often am quick to criticize myself and so even if it's not directed at the children, I know they feel it. I need to decide to be OK with trying and enjoy the time I have. Not worry so much about what I didn't get done or how I could have done something better, but to show my kids that life and family are good things that can bring us much joy!

I too was a young woman...I couldn't agree more! I too was a young woman that was not really interested in having kids. It looked like all sacrifice and no reward. I literally had to ask my own mother if it was worth it (remembering the times my sister and I hated her). I literally took a leap of faith becoming a mother and trusted my Heavenly Father and it is worth it beyond anything I could have imagined. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a mom!!!Kinsey Pistoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271729924283327405noreply@blogger.com
