Happy Mother's Day!

Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day! And of course being the "Mom" I really enjoyed the day. The thing that I enjoyed most about the day wasn't the flowers and the cards but were the talks that were given in church. As I pondered over what was spoken of in the talks I couldn't help but think about the righteous women that have touched my life. From my own Mom, to Grandma's, Aunts, Cousins, Friends and Church Leaders I have had wonderful examples of the divinity of Womanhood. I feel very blessed to have witnessed the examples of love, nurturing, patience, service, creativity, faith, and strength to name a few. So I would like to thank all the women I know for being an example of a "Righteous Woman". To all women I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day! One of my favorite quotes that I go to when I need some encouragement is from Sis. Hinckley. Here is what she said:

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."


Enjoy your life and really live!!
