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!'

It is so nice whne we can have those special moments with our daughters! We can be close and feel loving and loved! Thank you for being such a great example to me of a great Mom! Thanks for being someone my Emma can look up to! xoxo Aimee

p.s. Seriously...I am willing to come help purge! You just name the date and time and I'm there! It is much better doing someone else that myself. Maybe I should do that for a job! That might be fun!
