And that is why Mother's Day is for all women and not just women who have physically given birth. Eve wasn't a mother yet, but she was the "mother of all living." It goes with Sheri Dew's talk "Are We Not All Mothers?"
Thank you to all the wonderful women in my life (my mother, sister, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, daughter, daughter-in-law, friends) who have been such marvelous examples to me and who have taught me so much. Thank you all for greatly enriching my life and helping me to find joy. Happy Mother's Day!
It's been a good week. Having 4 of my 5 children home is great...and kind of weird! Twice this week we were going in 4 different directions.
And congratulations to my sister and brother-in-law, who, after having been an empty-nesters for a while, welcomed home their youngest from his mission to the Philippines this week. What a great Mother's Day gift. Welcome home, Jake!
Also deserving congratulations are Glen's and her husband who were set apart as missionaries today and tomorrow they will report to the MTC for training before heading to Iceland for 2 years.
And also our niece who was set apart tonight as a missionary and is entering the MTC on Wednesday and well be serving in Alabama.
Such exciting times.
Two weeks of seminary and 3 weeks of school left...
