“The gospel teaches us that motherhood is sacred, noble, and beautiful. One of my fondest memories as a small child is of my mother holding me and singing to me when I was tired or upset. During those moments, the Spirit would bless my young heart, helping me to know through my mother’s love that God also loved me. Few things in life are more beautiful than a mother quietly and sincerely showing love to her children.”
