In this crazy world we live in, we get pulled in all different directions. We sometimes get caught up doing things that don’t really matter much in the end—things that we cannot really bring with us when our turn here on earth is over. But there’s one that’s worth all our precious time and greatest efforts. It’s our life’s most valuable possession—our families.
Being a mom is my most favorite job in the world! Not only do I get a fresh peek at life through my children’s eyes, but it’s amazing how wonderful it feels like to see them grow from being infants, to toddlers, to the young persons that they are now. I am thrilled at the thought that one day they would be mature adults and I would be a grandma!J
And while they are still under my care, I delight at every minute that I spend with them. I enjoy the family home evenings, the meals together, the kite flying, the beach days, the beaded jewelry making, the games, the songs, and even the arguments on who gets to take a shower first or who gets to eat the last piece of dessert!! J
I am grateful for the opportunity given me to watch over them, care for them, and love them—in behalf of Him whose sons and daughters we all are.
I believe that families are forever! I believe that “That same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy” (D&C 130:2).
Let’s celebrate what we have!!! Let’s focus our energies on building our relationships with our families, for they truly are the ones who could bring us our greatest joys!! J
I could not have said it better myself. Motherhood is the most incredible gift my Father gave me – besides my salvation through the Atonement of His Son.
Thanks for dropping by, Sharon! Indeed, motherhood is such a wonderful blessing and privilege!
Great article, being a parent is the greatest thing that will ever happen to us. I also made a video for my family, just view it if you have the time
The birth of my kids gave me a better understanding on the sacrifice a mother gives for her children. Hats off to all mothers out there.

Thanks, Leo. I like the last phrase in your video: “Memories are forever.” So true.
ei Robin! Thank you very much! I so love your kids and I’m surely gonna miss them!!
ei Mommy! I’m very grateful that I got to know you, too! You’re like a real mom to me. And the bonus is, we get to be like this forever! Isn’t that great? Thank YOU for everything.
You’re right. Thank you for reminding again.
Thanks for dropping by, Vanj!
hey Cuz
You have such a wonderful family, you can feel how strong the love is between you. You are an amazing mother who loves and takes care of her children. Since having Andre last June I really understand how “men are that they might have joy” refers to having children. We are blessed with children and they are brought into our homes so that we can take care of them and teach them about our father in heaven. but they also have a lot to teach us too. They teach us that a tiny flower or bug is a creation of God and a miracle. They teach us that joy is found in the little things and that a mother or fathers hug can ease any pain. They are truly a gift from God.
Hi Cherry,
Your message was such a great timing. I was feeling down and out about my family. (my own and my parents family) But what you said was so true. Families are the most important in life. They are the very essence of our existence. Thank you. Regards to your kids. Ysai
Sister Myrus!!!!
thanks for the kind words and for dropping by! 
the kids and i miss you!!! I hope to meet your family someday! I’m sure you’re a terrific mother yourself! I agree with all that you said. I think I learn more from my kids than they do from me! Take care. We love you!
Ysai, glad to hear from you. Cheer up! You’re such a wonderful person and I know things will work out for you and your family in the end. Just keep on keeping on.
I would have gone this far if not because of my Gabrielle and my Mikaelle. They are the reasons of my being, my inspiration, my precious..
Nice article about motherhood Cherrie! You are a wonderful mom =)
ei Met, thank you. Gabrielle and Mikaelle are blessed to have you as their mom!
You’re wonderful yourself! 
Keep up the excellent job!
