Mom

This week my mom is staying with me to go to an Organ workshop at BYU to learn how to play the organ. It has been really fun to spend a little bit of time with my mother. In doing so I realized something that I dont think that I recognized while growing up. My mother caries the spirit so strong with her all the time. In thinking about how to raise my children, I have pondered many times the way my parents raised me and my siblings, and how they raised so many righteous children. I always tried to pinpoint the things that they did right, so that I could copy them. Today I realized what it is that my mother did right. She lived her life in a way that the spirit could be with her at all times. If there is a trait in my mother that I would like to emulate, that would be it. I really hope that my children will be able to feel the spirit through me someday, even if it takes them until they are 22 to realize it.
