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

A late Birthday wish

Jessica turned 12 last week. She is officially out of primary. She is much taller than I and has been a whole head taller than the whole primary for the last year. She was nervous to go to YW but then they came into Relief Society for opening so she sat by me.

She had a great birthday party with 5 friends. They talked, played and laughed for 3 hours. It was really fun.

She had asked for new scriptures with a case. I'll post pictures later cuz they aren't on this computer.

We went to the temple dedication last night. It was really special I love sitting in places like that with my whole family.

Lana came to visit. SHE LOOKS AMAZING. She has lost 80 pounds! It was fun to see her. I haven't seen her since last spring. She has some exciting news.
Love, Kerri
