Parental Payoffs.....

I had the opportunity to attend the Young Women's broadcast last night with Emma.... What a wonderful experience.The Y.W pres. in our ward created a tradition of having a little dessert before the broadcast which is such a brilliant idea...it helps the girls bond with one another..I am so grateful for such inspired women in my daughters life!

The broadcast had a beautiful array of music and lessons of remembering who we are as daughters of a loving Father. With that knowledge comes the responsibility to STAND tall and immovable in this world. As a mother/ daughter I find such peace in these words...We do know who we are! Though this life can be full of temptations and frustrations, we can hold on to the knowledge and lean on our Saviour for strength. I loved sitting, cuddled up with Em on the pew watching her write frantically the words of these inspired leaders....she really is striving to make a plan and live by it.I am so very grateful for the amazing friends that she has carefully chosen, they lift her up and because they themselves have firm foundations, together they can overcome the stumbling blocks that the adversary puts in front of them!

I know who I am, I will STAND, until I kneel at my Brother's feet and He will say 'Well Done!'

Council of a great man........

I have just been introduced to this new world of 'blogging'..... with the intent of listening to the council of a great man...Pres. Eyring. " I wrote down a few lines every day for years. I never missed a day no matter how tired I was or how early I would have to start the next day. Before I would write, I would ponder this question: “Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?” As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done. " His experience has helped me to understand the importance of recording my everyday 'Miracles' however great or small, In the hopes that one day my children will grow and recognize the hand of God in their own lives
What a great opportunity for us...let the games begin..........

women who know

Words to Live By....
"Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children- more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. "Sis. Julie B. Beck ( Conference October of 2007)
