“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
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.
- CATHRYNE ALLEN
