Guardians of the Hearth

On the eve of Mother's Day, I am feeling much gratitude for the mothering I have received and the privilege of receiving that noble calling. Grateful for the mothering that I witness from my daughters; Lily, Angela, Ann, Betsy and Margaret. We are the guardians of the hearth, although we will not completely see the effects of our nurturing, we will be given glimpses of our work here and there.

On that historic night when President Hinckley read the proclamation on the family, he concluded his address with a blessing upon the women of the Church:

“May the Lord bless you, my beloved sisters. … May you be strengthened for the challenges of the day. May you be endowed with wisdom beyond your own in dealing with the problems you constantly face. May your prayers and your pleadings be answered with blessings upon your heads and upon the heads of your loved ones. We leave with you our love and our blessing, that your lives may be filled with peace and gladness. It can be so. Many of you can testify that it has been so. The Lord bless you now and through the years to come, I humbly pray.”
