A woman’s greatest assignment is to give mortal tabernacles to the spirit children of God and then nurture and bless them so they will return to their Father in Heaven. She also may receive inspiration and understanding in behalf of the family. While she is pregnant, she nurtures the child with her own body, sacrificing her own comfort, and in some cases even her own health or life, to give life to another. The fact that numberless women have made this sacrifice does not lessen the unfeigned love each woman shows when she is willing to become a mother. While the child is growing, a nurturing, consoling, compassionate feeling develops between the mother and child that is not duplicated elsewhere. The child is literally flesh of her flesh, and the natural affection that exists between a creator and his creation exists in its strongest earthly form between a mother and child.
Today, we've been watching Mormon Messages...I love the latest on Motherhood. Can't wait to start the Mom discussion group/book club!

Tecia,
Thank you for posting this. You really do not realize how often the things that you say change my outlook on life. Thank you for trying to be that daughter that Heavenly Father expects you to be.
Wow! Thanks Tecia for your shining example.
