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

Snow!

So I'm very sorry about the snowy day we are having today. I'm afraid I'm to blame for it. Darren is driving back down to Ephraim today to compete with the other finalist to become a Snow Ambassador. I'm very excited for him. But of course it does worry me to send him in my van by himself a couple of hours from home. Last time he had to drive down it snowed also. It just tends to be our luck.

Don't worry I hate snowy days. As I sit on my computer during inside recess while they wait to get to go to lunch. Spring I thought you were coming?

So far we've just had little flurries at home, but if it does pick up out here or Justin has an INSANE commute due to the snow, at least I know I can blame someone for it :o)
