Happy Mothers Day!
I love being a mom! I always say I have my dream job. All I ever wanted to be was a mom. When I was in like 4th grade we were told to write about the career we wanted when we were grown. I wanted to write about being a mom. My teacher informed me that it was not a career, but my parents assured me that it was a noble and great desire. I now have my dream job and it has proven to be very lucrative in ways much more rewarding than money. It has also proven to be just as challenging as any other career might be. Education and experience have definately been required for my job. The education I've been able to get has prepared me for my job in a lot of ways. (especially that nutrition class I took at college. I love being able to provide a nutritious diet for my family and understand what foods help our bodies perform best.) It's a lot of work trying to provide a good balance of wholesome activity and diet for a family all while attending to all of their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. I'm grateful for all the knowledge I had before I became a wife and mother and for all that I have learned since. I learn more everyday from and am constantly amazed at all the great mothers I know. I am so grateful to have been born into a wonderful family and belong to a wonderful church whom both taught me that my dream job would be an influential and powerful career to persue. I love what our church teaches about the value of women and influence of mothers. I keep a copy of Julie B. Becks talk, Mothers Who Know, in my room so I can read it often. That school teacher was completely wrong about Mother not being a good career to write about. I think I could write her an impressive essay now! I feel humbled, honored, loved and immensely blessed by the job that Heavenly Father has trusted me with and it is one of my greatest desires to perform well and do a good job at it. I am so blessed to have been given such an amazing example to follow of what a great mother is like. I love you mom!
(This is my rose I got from church on Mother's Day. Isn't it beautiful?!)
