Mothers

SCRIPTURE OF THE Day Alma 56:47-48 "Now they never had fought, yet they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them. They rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: 'We do not doubt our mothers knew it.'" QUOTE OF THE DAY: David O. McKay "Until 'Where are you Mother'? receives no sweet response, do the childish minds realize how much Mother has been to them! Not until her smile and loving presence are but sacred memories do the children know that Mother held a place in their hearts that no one else can fill! It's an unfortunate phase of human nature that it is always inclined to undervalue its present blessings, that of Mother's and Father's presence being no exception. Not only on one day then, should we pay tribute to our mothers; but rather make that day the means of increasing our determination and ability to make every day of the year a day in which to honor Mother in particular and every woman who desires to be like Mother". (Gospel Ideals)
