Motherhood

"Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children."
The Family: A Proclamation to the World

The Lord entrusts us with sweet little spirits to nurture and raise. 

"Just as a mother's body may be permanently marked with the signs of pregnancy and childbirth, [the Savior] said, 'I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands' (1 Nephi 21:15-16) For both a mother and the Savior, those marks memorialize a wrenching sacrifice- the sacrifice of begetting life- for her, physical birth; for him, spiritual rebirth." 

While there is no manual on motherhood, we must do our best to instill strong moral values in our children. 

When they are grown and capable of making their own decisions, we can rely on the covenants we made in the temple as a foundation for our family.
