Loving. . .

There are many things that i am loving currently in my life. Being married, being a part of a giving and receiving relationship, being a daughter, not only of my earthy parents that love my unconditionally, but also of my Heavenly Father and Mother, who I can feel their love for me constantly. I am loving being a sister and working a building relationships with my siblings. I am loving the blessing of the gospel and the calling I hold in the Church and what a great blessing it is to learn from those around me.

But I think I am loving, well I don't want to say most because being a wife is great also but okay most, is being a mother. there is no other gift in this immortal exsistence that can even compare. Watching him learn something as simple as the motions to the Circle Time Song is so incredibly rewarding. The other day he hugged me on our way to the car from Wally World, and i thought this could not get better. I have a hard time understanding why people would freely choose to not accept this gift in this life. To refuse it like it is a chore. Hmm a chore to have an opportunity to have such a great influence, to teach, to love, to nurture, and in turn miss out on that hug that cannot be any more genuine. I am so glad that I have the knowledge to fully understand the value that we have as mothers and the value that it will have in this life and for the eternities. I love Parks and the rest of my eternal children, even though I don't know them, I love them!

Thanks for that post. I can't wait to join the ranks for great moms like you. As far as the hug goes, who wouldn't hug his mommy after being allowed to go to the greatest place on earth...Wally World?:)

I totally agree. Nothing compares. Even though Carl and I LOVE each other it is different from being a mother! It is soo rewarding.

You guys are such a cute family, Parks is a handsome little guy, I'm sorry about last weekend, now that we have Luke we have the hardest time getting away from his grandparents.

It's funny you always think motherhood will be special before you have kids, but once you have one it's so much more than that. It's the best, almost beyond words I guess.
