One thing I love about the doctrines of the Gospel is that we are taught that those of us who lose children in this life or for whatever reason have not been able to have any will be able to raise the lost children and have children in the life to come. That gives a great deal of hope to many I know! I think there are many kinds of mothers and any of us with nurturing hearts are indeed mothers. Love you! Hope you are both well. xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-83926360336109582682020-05-04T07:52:05.098+01:002020-05-04T07:52:05.098+01:00Thanks Eliabeth.

I loved every word. We are in something that we haven't ever experience or even thought off. It is worldwide and we are in this together. There are many good things happening because of it and I think that is part of the plan. <br />I do hope it gets controlled. We are missing the temple work a lot. <br />I loved reading your thoughts on Hope. We all need hope. <br />I am enjoying the Home centered church moments. They were so inspired. I find it to be a very spiritual experience each week as we have our sacrament and then we have had our granddaughter here so we give messages. She left for home for a two weeks and then she will be back. It's a blessing to have her but a little scary. She's struggling with being with us two old people. She is a return missionary and is such a joy to us. <br />Yes, Mother's day is another story. I haven't always enjoyed the day. I always felt I wasn't enough as a mother and still feel that way at times. I do know how hard it is not to have a Mom to call or send a card too. I do hope you have a lovely day, anyway. <br />I think you are a marvelous mother and grandmother and that there will be healing at some point. <br />Sending loving thoughts, prayers, and hugs!

I feel similarly but for different reasons. We wern't blessed with children and it used to bother me when all the mothers in the congrgation would be called up to the front of the church to be given a special blessing. Lots of us who have no children of our own but who have mothered other children have a mother's heart. Those of us who have suffered miscarriages have a mother's heart. I think the church should be more inclusive and perhaps a more general blessing to all women in the congregation would be nice. I'm not taking anything away from all the mothers who have raised their children. There is no more important role in the world than being a mom and I know you were a wonderful mother.

Tis easier that way. Try to pass the day not thinking too much about it, in my own regard. I still miss my mom very much and she has been gone now 19 years!!<br />Elizabeth xoxoElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529409389057290042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-3089981709794282352020-04-27T14:25:10.613+01:002020-04-27T14:25:10.613+01:00Yes we all need hope.
