4.9.15

In "Defenders of the Family Proclamation" Sister Oscarson quoted Pres. Monson's talk "Behold Thy Mother" Ensign Jan. 1974 “May each of us treasure this truth; one cannot forget mother and remember God. One cannot remember mother and forget God. Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and our earthly mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one.” I love this. This right here is motherhood. But it is also life. This is what family, and the gospel is all about : becoming closer to Christ, closer to God. God created the earth, He created us, He gave us the tools and the means to create worlds for ourselves and our families. It's up to us to create a world for our family to grow in truth and righteousness, strength and faith.
