My tomorrows...

Never Forget...

“Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these His little ones. Now, love them, take care of them. Fathers, control your tempers, now and in all the years to come. Mothers, control your voices; keep them down. Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones. Welcome them into your homes, and nurture and love them with all of your hearts. They may do, in the years that come, some things you would not want them to do, but be patient, be patient. You have not failed as long as you have tried. Never forget that.”

-President Hinckley

These, Our Little Ones

Anyone else a little late on reading their Ensign this month? I kept putting off reading it, justifying this by thinking that I has way too many Christmas things to do. Yesterday, Adi was sick with a fever, Piper was coughing like a seal, and Porter was up all night (nope, no real reason that I could tell), so we stayed home from Church. I decided that it was perfect time to read. President Hinckley's message, These, Our Little Ones was amazing! I was crying half way through it! It really made me look at my parenting style and realize what I need to fix, and where I might actually be doing ok. Please read it!

Good Quote:

“A child loves the smiles of its mother, but hates her frowns."

-Brigham Young

Just a quick quote...

Anyone who knows me at all, knows about my great love affair with quotes. For some reason, finding a good quote that really speaks to me just makes my day. Today I found a wonderful one in Go Forward With Faith, which I am still working on (who'd a thought that having 3 kids would severly limit your reading time?)...

"I know that I am a child of God, part of His creation and that Adam is my father... [But] there was one after that, and that was Eve. She was the crowning creation. Don't you young men ever think that you're so smart in comparison with young women. The Lord created you... and then, as his prime creation, He created woman-Eve, she was the sublime, ultimate in all His creations. Don't any of you young men develop any kind of a superiority complex. It isn't scriptural."

-Gordon B. Hinkley

Now, as a mother of two daughters... I just love that quote. Hope it made you stand just a bit taller!
