Today Is a Special Day!!

Today is a special day. Can anyone guess? Seeming since everyone is here on this earth, they all should have reason to be celebrating today also. It's Mother's Day!!! I feel like I need to give a little props to all the Moms out there...Props to all you mothers out there who sacrifice so much!! Motherhood is not an easy job. Whoever said that the woman who gives up a job or an education to become a mother is looking for the easy way out...they don't know what they are talking about! Not that I'm experienced in this area, I just know from watching my own mother and my own siblings raise their children how hard but rewarding the job can be. I'm sure it's better than any job that any person could take. It's not for whimps!
At church today we talked a lot about mothers. I think most of us did...and I'm sure most of us heard a lot of the same things. Things like Motherhood is a divinely appointed position. Mom's are knowledgeable. Mom's love their children so much and through that love their children more accurately learn how their Heavenly Father loves them. Mothers help their children come closer to Christ by their example. And many more things. Through all these speakers I had time to reflect on the things my own mother has done for me. Let me tell ya...I love my mom so much! I hope that some day I can be at least half the lady she is. She has taught me so much! I feel like I should be able to say a lot more about her and what she has done for me, but I can't. Words can't express how much my mom has done for me and how much I love her. I know I chose her to be my mom for a reason in the pre-mortal life. We get along like two peas in a pod. I knew I would learn so much from her. She had to be one of my best friends when I chose her because she is one of my best friends right now. Mom's definitely have a unique role and I'm so grateful for my own mother. I glad it worked out the way it did. She's the greatest! So here's to all the moms out there, especially one in particular! I love my mom!!
