My Mothers Day this year was full of Mothering. Croix was (still is) sick again. I got to clean up vomit, and snuggle and comfort my sick child. I also had the lesson in Young Womens. Both were a bit stressful, and certainly not relaxing. But I am so grateful for the opportunity to have a sick child to care for. As I was cleaning up vomit I thought as least I get to experience this. As I taught the YW I thought how lucky I am to be able to help them learn about the temple.
I loved the speakers we had in sacrament meeting. One talk in particular stood out to me. The brother who spoke talked about how being a Mother is more than just bearing children. You Mother every time you show Mothering attributes, like Charity, love, compassion, kindness, service. Having struggle with infertility I really loved that this was mention and emphasized on Mothers Day.
I love be in Mother more than anything in the world. I'm so blessed to get to have that opportunity. I love this job, and all that come with it!

I understand what you mean. Mothering never gets a day off but my friend and I were also talking about how great it is that we get to be mothers and have the experience to care for kids. What if we didn't. Great attitude.
