I am so blessed to have two Mom's! They are both great in many different ways. Without going into a lot of detail...I love them because they have opposite personalities, yet they both are amazing because of the Gospel and the way they were raised. Thanks for being amazing Mother's to me!!!
I like counsel Elder Ballard gave to Mother's and daughters in this last General Conference:
"...My dear young women, with all my heart I urge you not to look to contemporary culture for your role models and mentors. Please look to your faithful mothers for a pattern to follow. Model yourselves after them, not after celebrities whose standards are not the Lord’s standards and whose values may not reflect an eternal perspective. Look to your mother. Learn from her strengths, her courage, and her faithfulness. Listen to her. She may not be a whiz at texting; she may not even have a Facebook page. But when it comes to matters of the heart and the things of the Lord, she has a wealth of knowledge. As you approach the time for marriage and young motherhood, she will be your greatest source of wisdom. No other person on earth loves you in the same way or is willing to sacrifice as much to encourage you and help you find happiness—in this life and forever.
Love your mother, my young sisters. Respect her. Listen to her. Trust her. She has your best interests at heart. She cares about your eternal safety and happiness. So be kind to her. Be patient with her imperfections, for she has them. We all do."
In my opinion there is no greater person out there who emulates the Savior more then my Mothers. I love you both!!!
