Through the eyes of a mother

Mother's see their children not as they are but what they will become.

Lauren went to the temple this weekend to receive her endowments. It was so wonderful! Jackie drove up on Wednesday to be here for her little sisters big day which is really great because when she comes she brings the two peanuts with her! David and his parents made the long trip north to join us in the temple also!
While I was sitting in the temple in the middle of my girls a song kept running through my head ......

Am I teaching my daughter of Esther and Ruth.
That there is beauty in virtue and comfort in truth.
like Heleman's warriors will her victory be
through the things that she learned at her mother's knee.

The months and the Years slip so quickly away.
She's becoming right now what she'll be someday.
Today she's a child but tomorrow she's grown.
Will she know how to lead a child of her own.

So quickly, so quickly they grow then there gone
does she have courage and vision to see
for their failures and triumphs so often depend
on the faith that they learned at their mother's knee.

I was so touched and so pleased to have two of my children in the temple with me.  What a wonderful thing to know they are living their lives in such a way that they are worthy to be in the temple.  What great examples they are to their siblings and cousins!  We are so lucky that our daughters have chosen such good men to spend their lives with.  Men that will take them to the temple and just really adore our daughters.   Steve even said he kinda felt sorry for Savannah and Grace because it will be really hard to find someone that will measure up to the two son in laws we have.

I am so excited for these kids!

The greatest thing about Jackie are these little cute guys she brings with her!
