Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's and Mom's to be.

Today was a fun mother's day, or at least, a very insightful one thanks to my husband. Today my youngest little monster was TRYING to be good. That usually doesn’t translate to being good. So sacrament meeting at church didn’t end up being the most spiritually uplifting time today! I saw what song was next on the agenda for the meeting. It was called “Home Can Be a Heaven on Earth”. Jokingly, I made the comment to Jared that if that [Home] was what heaven was going to be like, I don’t know if I want to go! Jared, also joking, said “Didn’t you know? In heaven you kids listen to you and do what you say and…..oh wait! No they don’t! Even God couldn’t get all his kids to listen”. So this took me awhile to get. Yes I am slow. Then it hit me, duh! Satan and 1/3 of the hosts of heaven didn’t listen and rebelled! So yes, when it struck me that was funny! So joking around and talking, I came up with my new mom motto. EVEN GOD CAN’T GET HIS CHILDREN TO LISTEN TO HIM.

So for a mom with challenging children or that one that makes you feel like you are going insane, don’t worry! Relax!! We are doing our best each day, and sometimes, the only thing you can do is love your children and be there for them when they need you. Yes, we strive to be like God, but getting our children to listen to us isn’t part of it (we just hope they listen! It doesn’t mean to stop telling them what they need to hear!)!! Lol!
