This is my favorite artwork. It tells so much. A woman holding a baby looking outside the window where life is uncertain. But inside she knows her roll in motherhood.. Go see the large photo here.

I heard a group of mothers talking the other day, I was quite shocked to here the converstation they were having.
One lady asked the group if she was the only one who felt unapriateative, useless, and worth nothing.
I about died, I was not close enough to go over there and shove my mouth to their conversation, but I felt bad for this group..
Do they not who they are?
Sometimes my role as a mother is overwelming. Sometimes I feel like I need a break, but never have I felt useless.
Woman, our role on this earth is to nurture and care for our young ones.
Our role is to stregthen our family inside the home.
Our role is to uplift.
Our role is to visit those in need, or just need a friend.
Our role is to Stand for Truth and Rightesnous.
Remember who you are and why you are here.
You are worth it.. You are amazing.

Beautiful sabbath post, Devri. I haven't been feeling well this weekend, so I'm not at church today, so this was a great reminder!
Thanks for your post. I think we all have the tendency to get bogged down in the tedium of motherhood and it's so nice to have reminders of just how important the job we do is!
great post Devri thankyou
That is my favorite picture. I have it hanging in my living room. That is a great reminder of what our purpose is on this earth. Thanks for that reminder.
What a sweet picture.
Amen again, you always manage to inspire.
Thanks and Happy Sunday.
That is so sad. I think that we can all use a reminder of how important are role is as a mother and daughter of God. Thanks Devri. I am sad to hear those mothers words.
Appreciate your thoughts very much. I did your testimony tag too. It was a blessing to me. Thanks.
I've never heard that before, only the YW values.
I think it's a great blessing to be a member of a church that values motherhood and families. I agree, sometimes I feel tired and discouraged, but never useless!!!
Your testimony and strength are an inspiration to me. Motherhood, the hardest adventure I have ever set out on. I wouldn't give it up for anything:)
