In honor of Mother's Day, I just wanted to share a couple of things that I recently read.
3 John 1:4 "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."
President James E. Faust "I fear you sisters do not realize in the smallest part the extent of your influence for good in your families, in the Church, and in society. Your influence for good is incalculable and indescribable."
Pres. Faust "I also believe that there is no greater good in all the world than motherhood. The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation."
"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." President Abraham Lincoln
"When God thought of mother, He must have laughed with satisfaction, and framed it quickly--so rich, so deep, so divine, so full of soul, power, and beauty was the conception." Henry Ward Beecher
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." Washington Irving
Happy Mother's Day to all the women who may read this, mothers or not.

Those are all wonderful! But I think my favorite one is President Hinckley's
When you grow old and your hair turns white, you will not ask about the fancy clothes you once wore, the cars you drove, or the large house in which you lived. Your burning question will be, “How have my children turned out?”
If they have turned out well, you will be grateful. If otherwise, there will be only small consolation for you.
