137. Mothers: STRONG, COURAGEOUS, FAITHFUL, DEVOTED, DEDICATED and UNFAILING


Listen Later

From the time that I was a little girl I wanted to be a mother. I started babysitting at the age of nine. All the money that I made as a youth was babysitting for different families. I had two specific families that I spent most of my weekends taken care of. The Eggleston‘s and the Hills. I got paid $2 an hour for five children and I learned so much from taking care of them. Recently while I was interviewing Carie and Carrie for a Mother’s Day podcast release, I began to think about how Satan is attacking the woman and women and decided to do a podcast specifically dedicated to mothers. All of us or mothers. God said to Adam and Eve before she had children that she was the mother of all living. Regardless if we have children or not we are all mothers. There is someway that we can nurture a child. 

“For Satan has declared war on motherhood. He knows that those who rock the cradle can rock his earthly empire. And he knows that without righteous mothers loving and leading the next generation, the kingdom of God will fail.” Sheri Dew, November 2001. 

Elder Holland: “To all of our mothers everywhere, past, present, or future, I say, “Thank you. Thank you for giving birth, for shaping souls, for forming character, and for demonstrating the pure love of Christ.” To Mother Eve, to Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel, to Mary of Nazareth, and to a Mother in Heaven, I say, “Thank you for your crucial role in fulfilling the purposes of eternity.” To all mothers in every circumstance, including those who struggle—and all will—I say, “Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are. In fact, you are saviors on Mount Zion, and like the Master you follow, your love ‘never faileth.’ 2015
