My New Life
(youtube video. Check it out!)
This is amazing! Stephanie Nielson is a true example of what motherhood really means. There is a quote in this video that struck me to my soul, "When suffering, we may in fact be nearer to God then we have ever been in our entire lives. That knowledge can turn every such situation into a would-be Temple. Regarding our earthly journey, the Lord has promised, "I will go before you face, I will be on your right hand and on your left. My Spirit shall be in your hearts and mine Angels round about you to bear you up". That is an everlasting declaration of God's love and care for us. Including and perhaps especially, in times of trouble."
I can say without a doubt that the Lord has been with me and I recognize His Spirit stronger during my trials and I have seen His hand guiding me through this life.
I love the women in my life. They are all example's of what Womanhood, Motherhood, and Sisterhood mean. I am grateful for my own mother. She is a strong, courageous woman! She is very generous and cares deeply for others. I am grateful for my grandmothers and great grandmothers. All, who had a roll in my life and the way I turned out. I hope I have made them proud. I am grateful for my Mother-in-law. She is such a sweet, giving woman. I don't personally know anyone who has done more Humanitarian work then her. What an example. I am also grateful to her, for raising such an amazing man.
Last, I am grateful to BE a mother. I take that roll for granted too often. I get busy with laundry and keeping the house clean and orderly. But I love my children. They teach me every day what Christ-like love is.
Happy Mothers Day~ To All Women
