Mother's Day 2009

I have always enjoyed church on Mother's Day. However today brought on a lot of emotions for me. My morning started with Alec bringing me a huge bowl of cereal with a side of yogurt. Who can complain about breakfast in bed? I received a box of flowers and pictures from my kids that I saw them working on this week. It was so sweet of them to think of me. Aside from that we began getting ready for church while it was raining outside. During announcements I received my calling as the YW president in our ward. I have known about this for almost 2 weeks and it still had me feeling excited and nervous at the same time. The YW were sad to see their previous leader leave but they were kind to us as a new presidency. After church we were all set apart. I left feeling a huge load lifted off my shoulders knowing that the Lord is my guide and having an instant love for these girls. I know a lot of responsibility follows and I hope and pray I can be all that I need to be. I reflected a lot on my YW leaders that I had as a youth and of course that led to thoughts of my sweet mother and the wonderful example that she was and is to me. So thank you Mom for being who you are and for loving the Savior like you do. I love you!!!!! Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!
