To the Hard Working Moms

So, I was going to write about how us moms need to love and be patient with our children.  We do. Also, I was going to include something about motherhood being a noble calling.  It is.  However, I found this quote and it inspired a new point of view.
 

Children Helping Mothers

"What can children, even young children, do [to help their mothers]? Now, you children, please listen to me because there are some simple things you can do to help your mother.

"You can pick up your toys when you are finished playing with them, and when you get a little older, you can make your bed, help with the dishes, and do other chores—without being asked.

"You can say thank you more often when you finish a nice meal, when a story is read to you at bedtime, or when clean clothes are put in your drawers.

"Most of all, you can put your arms around your mother often and tell her you love her."


Thank you Elder Ballard for those kind words. I encourage you all to share this with your children young and old :)
