Lesson Learned from Mothering

Just a Mom

As a mother, grandmother, and teacher, it has been an amazing experience to help nurture others and to be a significant influence in their lives.  I've also been thinking of how much I have learned through this service. 

• Patience - growth and change take time - a lifetime
• Faith - act knowing and focused on potentiel
• Love - put your whole soul into helping others
• Acceptance - that real love often means saying, "No"
• Trust - in others' underlying goodness
• Work - relationships and developing talents takes time and effort
• Forgiveness - look inward before judging another
• Appreciation - value effort and intent, not just the product
• Compassion - see with the heart

Being Helped to Serve as a Church Service Missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

It has been a busy couple of months and I'll try to write more often now that my life is starting to settle down a little.

I am now a Church Service Missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a different sort of mission. I don't go out in the world and preach the Gospel. What I do is answer the feedback questions on the lds.org website.
