Mothers

Second post today! It's a special day. I wanted to post something about mothers and to my mother.

I work in primary so I'm always thinking of primary songs to go with everything. I think the songs have a beautiful and simple way of expressing the most heartfelt feelings. Here is one of my favorites about mothers:

Mother I Love You:

Mother I love you,
Mother I do,
Father in Heaven has sent me to you.
When I am near you,
I love to hear you,
Singing so softly that you love me too.

Mother I love you,
Mother I do,
I want to help you because I love you.
I want to mind you,
I want to find you,
Happy and Smiling because I love you.

Mother I love you,
I love you,
I do.


In the scriptures there are so many accounts of mothers teaching there children. My favorite is the Stripling warriors. Alma 56: 47 & 48. Everyone uses this scripture but I do really love it.

47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the aliberty of their bfathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their cmothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.

48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their amothers, saying: We bdo not doubt our mothers knew it.


They knew because their mothers had raised them in righteousness and had taught them to trust in God. We learn so much through our mothers, through their example and their faith.

Everything I am I owe to my mom, she is so wonderful and her righteous example has taught me to trust in the Lord and turn to him in my life. I am so grateful for my mother and hope that one day when I have my own children I can half the mother she was.

Thank you Mom.
