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

Backing up!



Okay I know I haven't posted forever. Last month in June I took the opportunity to take Ryan's little car and the four girls to my parents' home in southern Cali. Sarah my youngest sister was graduating from high school. We had figured out that Sarah with 9 older brothers and sisters she has had to sit through 7 high school and 7 college graduations so we might as well make an effort to go to hers.


While there we visited Marguerite at the Reagan Library, went to the beach, hung out at the YMCA and topped it off with a free day at Disneyland with mom and four of my sisters:)
