With the passing of Layne's Mom and today being Mothers day it has been a different type of Mothers day. Today I had to give a lesson in YW's about Heritage. It really made me think about what I will leave behind when I go and what I have learned from those who have paved the way before. Am I a kind Mother? Am I teaching my children through example and scripture enough to help them build testimonies that will be strong enough to defend themselves against what is out there? Because of my older children's sad memories am I spending enough time with them (quality) to help heal the scars. I really worry about if I am just doing more damage sometimes. Am I teaching my children how to be good parents themselves? I have a lot of learning to do myself. I know I fall short in so many areas, yet the Lord has blessed me with amazing little spirits in my home and an amazing heritage and I need follow their example more in my life. I am thankful for the heritage my Mother -in-law left behind. What an amazing gift!! I am grateful for my own Mother who is here to guide and help me as a Mother. I hope the heritage I leave will be as wonderful as these two beautiful women's in who's footsteps I am privileged to follow!!!!

It is a lot of responsiblity and I sometimes wonder if I'm doing enough, too. At least we have good examples to follow. Hope you had a nice Mom's Day, even with the loss in your family.
AMEN.
And since I know you and what a wonderful mother you are, I know that you are doing an excellent job with your children...but I totally know what you are feeling!!
Great thoughts. Hope you Mother's Day was nice! You are doing a great job.
I know just from reading about you that you are an amazing woman and mother. We all have these doubts....and if we didn't, then I would worry about who you were! :) You are wonderful and I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day....even if it was a different one and difficult.
You are an amazing mother - I worry about the same things. I wonder - am I doing everything that I need to be doing? I know that our kids will remember us always and be so grateful for what we do for them. Hope you were able to enjoy your day at least a little. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
i think every mother wonders the same thing. i think if you give your best the best will come back to you..through your kids. does that make sense.
i am so sorry for your loss.
