Truth...

I was checking out our families blogs and Brandy has this posted on hers!!!
Home is where women have the most power and influence; therefore Nurturing mothers are knowledgeable, but all the education women attain will avail them nothing if they do not have the skill to make a home that creates a climate for spiritual growth. Growth happens best in a "house of order," Nurturing requires organization, patience, love, and work. Helping growth occur through nurturing is truly a powerful and influential role bestowed on women". -Sis. Julie Beck

"Too frequently, women underestimate their influence for good. Well could you follow the formula given by the Lord: 'Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God' (D&C 88:119)."In such a house will be found happy, smiling children who have been taught, by precept and example, the truth. In a Latter-day Saint home, children are not simply tolerated, but welcomed; not commanded, but encouraged; not driven, but guided; not neglected, but loved."Thomas S. Monson,, "The Spirit of Relief Society, Ensign," May 1992, 101-102

I know from experience and from not having a mother in the home from a early age this is so true...I believe in Motherhood. It is more than just baring children...I believe we as Mothers are co-partners with our Heavenly Father. With that said I want to face my Heavenly Father knowing I did all and more than I could do. I did it in faith and with his help.

This is a nice post and a nice reminder. Women do make such a difference in the home. I'm grateful I can stay at home with my kids!
