{...Thoughtful Thursday...}

I received this quote from a great friend and thought we all could stop and think about our GREAT duty as a mother.....
"In this age when more and more women are turning to daily work, how tremendous it is once in a while to just stop and recognize that the greatest job that any woman will ever do will be in nurturing and teaching and loving and encouraging and rearing her children in righteousness and truth. There is no other thing that will compare with that, regardless of what she does. I hope that the women of the church will not slight their greatest responsibility in favor of a lesser responsibility.”
Pres. Hinckley

You know what's so funny: it always seems like the days where I feel like I'm going out of my mind, something like that hits me just when I need it.
