Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

Eagle Mountain 9th Ward Party


Well the party was an Saturday night. It was a really nice night. Ryan and the High Priest group leadership built our manger and stable. Ruth and Brendan Done played Mary and Joseph with their new baby boy. Darren and a couple of deacons were shepards, Jessica was the Angel of the Lord and the Bishop and his counselors were the Wisemen. Rheanna Dow played all of the music and Marc Minson also sang a solo.


Randy Braby was the main narrator with a few of our young women helping him out. We had set it up as a big ward family home evening and I think that everyone had a good time. I'm glad that it is over.

Right now we are being DUMPED on. We have numerous inches of snow. The last minute things that I was going to get done today are not going to happen. Oh well Happy Christmas!

Sounds like a wonderful program! And the manger looks so realistic. I tend to want to simplify things anymore but seeing your manger reminds me of how a little extra work can really make a difference between a nice program and a great program. Way to go!
