General Conference was uplifting, as always! I truly feast and crave the spiritual enlightenment that is offered to all of us. The talk that really hit home for me was by Julie B. Beck, entitled “Mothers Who Know”. There is a wonderful message for the mothers of the world – I plan to incorporate ALL of these techniques into my mothering. (Especially simplifying) I feel like we as mothers can get ourselves involved into many good things that distract us from our real purpose as mothers. For me, I am going to be mindful and conscientious about which things I involve myself and my children in. It is not prerequisite that we be the PTO president with five young children, have our children in every extracurricular event, or put pressure on ourselves to have perfect children. The purpose and goal of mothering as I understand it – especially from this talk, is knowing who we are and who we are raising and what our goal is in this lifetime. We should all be more diligent in teaching the ways of the Lord and be worried if our children know those objectives. I truly embrace the words of Sister Beck and hope that I can in some small way, make a difference for good in my children that will in turn make a difference in the world 50 years from now, when they are mothers and fathers.
