There is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood. ~Elder M. Russel Ballard
A couple days ago I was reading the talk where he said this and it really struck me. I love the entire talk and I think every mom should read it weekly, but for some reason this really stood out to me this time as I read. Just wanted to share.

love this pic Nat. love the quote also. Thanks for sharing.
Are you taking these pictures Natalie? They are awesome! Thanks for uplifting me. I love watching kid movies--especially if there's popcorn.
You girls are way too nice to me! Thanks. I could use a smile today. Our dog, Redick, died. :(
Yes! I heard this quote repeated in a talk given on Mother's Day and it made me sit a little taller throughout the meeting as I handed out crayons, picked up spilled Cheerios and wiped a couple of snotty noses. Sometimes I wonder what all the diaper changing and sippy cup washing amounts to and then I remember Elder Ballard's quote and know that I am shaping the world of tomorrow by raising children that know love, know how to choose the right, and know Christ. Bring on the diapers. I'm honored to have this Eternal Role.
I loved loved loved that talk by Elder Ballard last conference. Made me want to do EVERYTHING better! Thanks for the reminder!
