My favorite quotes
from this week:
- Brother Satterfield, “The ultimate test of godhood is parenthood!”
- President Benson: “This life is intended to provide an opportunity to help our Father in Heaven with His great plan, and we do that through honorable parenthood”
- President Kimball: “Young married couples who postpone parenthood until their degrees are attained might be shocked if their expressed preference were labeled idolatry."
- President Benson: “When God said it was our responsibility to multiply and replenish the earth, that marriage was primarily for that purpose, He didn’t insert any provisions."
- Elder Oaks: “Our covenants with God and the ultimate purpose of life are tied up in those little ones who reach for our time, our love, and our sacrifices.”
I recently became a mother a couple of months ago when our
beautiful daughter was born. Being a mother is hard. I only have one child, but
I know as more come there will be more stress, worries, trials, long nights,
and hard days. I also know that those who follow the commandment to have
children are blessed beyond measure. The Lord gives you the extra strength to
accomplish the things that you need to. And those same children that make you
worry bring the most joy ever conceivable and make your heart overflow with
love.
