Motherhood: Roses and Thorns

Every once in a while, I feel like laughing,
Every once in a while, I feel like playing,
When I see her smiling face.

Every once in a while, I feel like crying.
Every once in a while, I feel like giving up,
But as I sit behind a shut door, little fingers wriggle neath the door.

Nock. Nock. "Momma." Momma."

I quickly wipe the tears away and remember I can be her mother because Heavenly Father entrusted me with his precious child.

Being alive and having the privilege to serve as a mother is a wonderful gift. My sister-in-law shared this special message and hope it brings loving joy on this very special Mother's Day.


Lots of Love,

Shauna
