Join me for this short Valentine's message where we relate the 5 love languages found in Jesus' life to times we express these same love languages in our life as mothers. 

It is my hope that today and everyday, we can study and ponder on the love Jesus expressed through words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, quality time, and gift giving and how we as mothers reflect His life by similarly showing these various forms of love to our own precious children.

As I have been pondering what motherhood resolution I want to take into 2025, these three phrases kept coming to my mind from the Savior. 

It is my hope that one of these phrases once said by Jesus Christ will resonates with you, and that it will become your own New Year's resolution. I hope that after listening to this episode, you can imagine Jesus Christ lovingly reminding you of this resolution throughout the year, as you seek to become a better mother and disciple of Him.

Using Elder Maxwell's beautiful imagery of Mary and her newborn, my hope for today's short episode is that we can make connections to Mary as we remember moments with our own newborn, ultimately remembering THE newborn. 

Today's guest is one of my oldest and closest friends, Kristen Scott. Not only is she an extremely talented recording artist and Christian singer and songwriter, but her beautiful testimony of Jesus Christ and connections she finds to Jesus Christ through music and motherhood makes today's episode one of my favorites yet. 

For the first time on Lilies and Manna podcast, there is a live musical number that you will not want to miss! This song is sung by Kristen and what she describes as her personal testimony of the Savior. 

Join Natalie and I as we read through her interactive and immersive children's book, "My Covenant Path with Jesus".

Join Seth and I as we find spiritual connections to the many aspects of Thanksgiving. We hope that from the feast, to the turkey bowl, and even to the leftovers.. that those listening will look at it all with new spiritual eyes as it now reminds them of the Savior and His gospel. 

It is my hope you will never look at huge mountains of laundry the same way again, and that heartfelt desire replaces dread of tackling this chore as it now becomes a time to reflect on Jesus Christ's Atonement in everyday moments in motherhood.
