My quote for the day is:
"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great." (Doctrine & Covenants 64:33)
I have been pondering on this scripture for sometime now. Raising son's and daughter's of our Heavenly Father is one of the greatest blessings and greatest challenges in this life. I love my two little ones and sometimes I get so wrapped up in the tasks for the day that I don't stop and just enjoy the cuddling, kisses, smiles and laughter that I get from them. Sometimes I get wrapped up in accomplishing a task that I forget to enjoy the process. As for now, my children are the "small things" that will proceedeth greatness if I "be not weary". There are many life situations and circumstances that can make anyone weary and contribute to "bad-doing". There are others especially Jesus Christ who have endured far greater than I. It is all to often that I forget that.
I do love my little ones with all my heart and I only have them for a short, yet most influencial, period of their lives here on earth. Remember, oh remember...

I love that scripture, Kim! I, too, get wrapped up in the everyday tasks and am working on slowing down and taking time with them--even if the house is a mess (which is hard for me to swallow!). Thanks for the post! It is a great reminder for all of us that children ARE the most important! XOXO
Thanks for that thought!!! So true, so true....I imagine you are a wonderful mom and are doing a great job with those two adorable children. Wish I was joining you in Utah for a fun gymnastics get together!!
Thanks for sharing kim, that is soo important for us as mothers to remember. It is also really hard to remember that at times. thanks again!

I really needed to read this today...the house is a mess 'cuz I let everything go while David was home after Carter was born. I know that I haven't been as patient with Mason as I should be...especially because he is the greatest work that I can accomplish! Thank you for your thoughts!!
