Last weekend, our church held General Conference, a semiannual meeting where the prophet and leaders of the church give us guidance and renewed inspiration. This came from one of the talks that especially caught my attention, and these words have been repeating over and over in my head.
"Mothers who know are nurturers. This is their special assignment and role under the plan of happiness. To nurture means to cultivate, care for, and make grow. Therefore, mothers who know create a climate for spiritual and temporal growth in their homes. Another word for nurturing is homemaking. Homemaking includes cooking, washing clothes and dishes, and keeping an orderly home. Home is where women have the most power and influence; therefore, Latter-day Saint women should be the best homemakers in the world." -Julie B. Beck
If you'll excuse me now, I have to go clean something.
Amen Sister! I loved her talk too!!
ReplyDeleteThat was one of my favorite talks too! BTW, the bag is really easy to make if you are interested and I only have pretty basic sewing skills too, so if I can do it you can too!
