“Motherhood is near
to divinity.
It is the highest,
holiest service to be assumed by mankind.
It places her who
honours its holy calling and service next to the angels.”
-
The First Presidency: Heber J. Grant, J.
Reuben Clark, David O McKay
- (1918-1945)
What are children to a mother
If not gifts from heaven’s door;
As jewels from God’s own bosom
Gifted to her heart forever more.
Entrusted with the greatest charge
Sealed with hope of tender care;
From His hands
To mothers given
As gifts of worth beyond compare.
