Because again, if Lucifer can make an aberration seem normal- or better yet, evil seem normal, he has made striking inroads.

No woman who understands the gospel would ever think that any other work is more important or would ever say, "I am just a mother," for mothers heal the souls of men.

Motherhood is not what was left over after our Father blessed His sons with priesthood ordination. It was the most ennobling endowment He could give His daughters, a sacred trust that gave women an unparalleled role in helping His children keep their second estate. As President J. Reuben Clark Jr. declared, motherhood is ‘as divinely called, as eternally important in its place as the Priesthood itself.’

While we tend to equate motherhood solely with maternity, in the Lord’s language, the word 'mother' has layers of meaning...Mothe rhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us.

Motherhood is more than bearing children...It is the essence of who we are as women.

Look to the Lord and not to the world for your ideas and ideals about men and women.

Am I the woman I think I am, the woman I want to be? More importantly, am I the woman the Savior needs me to be?
