This past weekend I was able to view part of the women's conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was most definitely struck by the message I received that motherhood is a powerful and worth while job. As I have been pondering that the past few days, I have realized the incredible love I have for my son. Of course I loved him the moment he was placed on my stomach in the delivery room and I was able to look at him for the first time, but I didn't realize the depth of it until this weekend.
I am a firm believer that those you serve are the ones you love the most, what more effective way to find love then serving an innocent child. But the incredible love I feel for him came as I humbled myself and realized that my Father in Heaven wants me to be happy and have joy in this life. I keep thinking my life is too good to be true, and the joy I feel from my son is going to be taken away from me, I almost live on edge of the bad things that could happen to my little one. I'm glad I was able to realize the fact that my Heavenly Father wants joy and happiness in my life. HE WANTS ME TO BE HAPPY!
Being a mother has brought so much joy to my life. Watching Hudson grow and develop and discover new things has been such an amazing experience. The Spirit and love he brings into my home is incredible. I've always wanted to create home that can be a safe haven for my family, but didn't realize that because my family resides in my home, they have created a safe haven for me. I am extremely blessed to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ is my life: it has taught me about eternal marriage and families, where to find peace, and how to experience such an incredible love.
