Hello Ladies!
Happy {late} Mother's Day! I was really taking the day off forgetting to send this. :)
In Relief Society yesterday, we shared this little clip that I thought you might enjoy:
Just hope you know how wonderful you are, and how much we appreciate all you do. You are a powerful influence for good in a troubled world.
I believe Satan works very hard to discourage mothers-- women in general, really. I think he know our potential. I was feeling a little down this last week, and as I knelt and poured out my heart, I felt impressed to listen to one of my favorite "pick-me-up" conference talks from Elder Holland:
I would encourage you to read it, no matter what your family circumstance, and remember what a difference you are making.
This was a quote I loved:
"We thank all of you ... and tell you there is nothing more important in this world than participating so directly in the work and glory of God, in bringing to pass the mortality and earthly life of His daughters and sons, so that immortality and eternal life can come in those celestial realms on high.
When you have come to the Lord in meekness and lowliness of heart and, as one mother said, “pounded on the doors of heaven to ask for, to plead for, to demand guidance and wisdom and help for this wondrous task,” that door is thrown open to provide you the influence and the help of all eternity. Claim the promises of the Savior of the world. Ask for the healing balm of the Atonement for whatever may be troubling you or your children. Know that in faith things will be made right in spite of you, or more correctly, because of you."
Remember who to turn to. Our Savior is the source of truth and light, and I testify that the he loves you, and that he really does stand at the door waiting for us to knock. If you need help or inspiration, just ask and he will bless you! Turn to the scriptures. We have had some wonderful lessons on the power of the Book of Mormon. Read and study, and cash in on the promised blessings! I love you sisters and hope that you know it! Thank you for all you do! Have a wonderful week filled with things that will bring you closer to the Savior.
Love,
Lydia
