    I'm a father with a housewife caring for our 3 little kids. This UA-cam message helps me have a deeper appreciation for my wife's effort in nurturing our kids.
    I have felt inspired by this message. I love my wife even more. I have felt the Spirit of the Lord testify that this message is true. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland is an Apostle of Jesus Christ.

    I must watch this every morning before I begin a long day with my 3 children. God is amazing and loves us dearly. These messages are for the world to feel His spirit and be encouraged in goodness. And sometimes it feels like they are for me personally. What an amazing blessing!

    It makes me so thankful for my wife and my mother. I know they were sent from a loving Heavenly Father to help me and my children return to his presence. If they weren't there for us, I don't know that we would make it through this life. They are the exemplars of what Jesus Christ is and wants us to be.

    No matter what your religion, this is a beautiful, powerful video. Motherhood is a holy thing. It is not glamorous work but is is glorious work. I cherish being a loved wife and mother sooo much more than my academic degrees, any vacation I've been on or wanted to go on, any compliment I've ever received. This. is. what. it's. all. about.

    • @macadysmith1722

  • @rosey4exclaim
    @rosey4exclaim 14 років тому

    I clicked the thumbs up because, even though I'm not a Mormon, I do believe motherhood is a sacred calling, and everyone who takes on the challenge with an open heart should be praised. God (and/or Goddess) bless all the mothers of the world.

    I remember this talk. At the time I had three very little children, my husband was traveling so much he was home only 10 weekends total that year, and he was possibly losing his job. I had mononucleosis, and postpartum depression, too. I felt like no matter how hard I tried to serve my family, I couldn't succeed. I sat on the floor as I listened to Elder Holland and wept as the Spirit bore witness to my spirit that the Lord saw and accepted my work, and would compensate for my weaknesses.

  • @ammonlarsen
    @ammonlarsen 14 років тому

    wonderful! Made me cry. I have 2 little ones here and 1 up in heaven and am trying my best to raise the ones here to the best of my ability in partnership with God. Just like any good parent, our Father in Heaven wants the best for us. He lives and loves us all. I'm grateful for prophets, like Elder Holland, that teach us that.

    @dnasmith06 14 років тому +2

    I feel like this was meant for me. I've felt like that girl in the letter, all the pressure and pushing to teach your children everything now. My son is almost a year old and from all the pressure I've been given, it feels like he should be speaking full sentences, even though I know that he doesn't need to right now. This beautiful video was a message to me that it's ok, and I'm doing a good job. Thank you for this message.

    I love that he says that God trusts us with his children that we are taking care of 💓❤🎉 And even adopting through foster care, is another way of God saying he trusts you. Because he has given that opportunity for you to adopt a child and that child needs your love and care. My prayers are sent to all of those who have children 🙏💖

I am thankful for the peaceful reassurance the Gospel of Jesus Christ and little videos like this bring to my life.

    This is a great message. Mothers are so important and I hope someday to be a Godly mother myself. I'm certainly thankful for mine. On a side note, that one shot of the dad praying while the kids are all messing around and the mom is trying to control them is hilarious. That's a pretty accurate depiction of many families, I think. Especially if they have that many boys! : )

    My mother has been missing (from my family) for 25 years. She was a mormon the last I knew. She was the softest mother, and had strong maternal instincts. One of my friends, who is also mormon, was going to try to search the mormon church records to see if she could find any info, but she never got back to me. click on my username to see more about her (the first two videos posted are about her and have info about her in the video details).

    @fireflies333 You asked about the boys kneeling with arms crossed and heads down. Yes that is a form of praying. I believe that kneeling is a humble way to show reverence for Heavenly Father. We also pray kneeling beside our bed, or sitting in a chair with arms or hands folded and heads bowed and eyes closed. We can pray anytime, anywhere. Hope this helps.
