This moment…

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment.

A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Happy Saturday my dears!

The Highest Calling

Widow Kirby and her children–the little guy on the bottom left…is my dad.

“During my professional career as a doctor of medicine, I was occasionally asked why I chose to do that difficult work. I responded with my opinion that the highest and noblest work in this life is that of a mother. Since that option was not available to me, I thought that caring for the sick might come close. I tried to care for my patients as compassionately and competently as Mother cared for me.

Many years ago the First Presidency issued a statement that has had a profound and lasting influence upon me. “Motherhood,” they wrote, “is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.”

~Elder Russell M. Nelson

Being Mama

This moment…

A Saturday joy.
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our world.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment to savor and remember.

A Mum For Mom

Here’s a real quick and easy gift–we’re talking under an hour, start to finish–to make for the Moms in your world.

I saw it on the  Creative Jewish Mom blog. The pattern is there too, so that makes it even easier.

Just think how happy mom…or sister…or daughter…or Aunt Mabel will be when at last, at last they have a rational place to keep the safety pins.

They will thank you for making their life complete. What a gift!

Beat that.
