The Sweetest Word

This brings such joy to my heart and a smile on my face!

 

"Mother is the name of for God on the lips and hearts of all children" 

Eric Dravin 

Not to say that I am comparing myself to God in no way shape or form... in-fact I feel very unworthy of the word at times. But given the opportunity to be a mother and to be called one is the greatest blessing. In a recent letter from my brother that I got on Mother's Day while in the Phillippines on a mission he said: 

'Sis you have been blessed with one of the greatest blessing, being a mom. But remember, "With great power comes great responsibility!"'(Spider Man) 

It is a huge responsibility to be a mom and to be held responsible for my little Rayni's life. At times it can be a little overwhelming! But to hear that sweet word come out of her mouth makes it all seem just a bit easier! 

These two quotes I found makes me want to do a little more every day to to serve my Heavenly Father's very special daughter:

"Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels."

--The First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

God trusts women so much that He lets them bear and care for His spirit children.

--Elder Neal A. Maxwell.
