EACH MOTHERHOOD SITUATION UNIQUE

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skill and abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique for each mother and each family. many are able to be 'full-time moms,' at least during the most formative years of their children's lives, and many others would like to be. Some may have to work part- or full0-time; some may work at home; some may divide their lives into periods of home and family and work. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
M. Russell Ballard


EXPERIENCING THE SWEET PEACE OF FORGIVENESS

"sometimes we carry unhappy feelings about past hurts too long. We spend to much energy dwelling on things that have passed and cannot be changed. We struggle to close the door and let go of the hurt. If, after time, we can forgive whatever may have caused the hurt, we will tap 'into a life-giving source of comfort' through the Atonement, and the 'sweet peace' of forgiveness will be ours ("My Journey to Forgiving," Ensign, Feb. 1997. 43). Some injuries are so hurtful and deep that healing comes only with help from a higher power and hope for perfect justice and restitution in the next life... You can tap into the higher power and receive precious comfort and sweet peace."
James E. Faust.


BEING A LITTLE KINDER

"May God help us to be a little kinder, showing forth greater forbearance, to be more forgiving, more willing to walk the second mile, to reach down and lift up those who may have sinned but have brought forth the fruits of repentance, to lay aside old grudges and nurture them no more."
Gordon B. Hinckley
