After we talked at FHE the other night I found myself pondering how you do all that you do. I need to come spend the week at you house and figure out how you are doing all the clubs, playgroups and joyschool with two kids. I feel like I live in chaos most days and wonder around aimlessly with little accomplished at the end of the day to justify being a stay at home mom. What's my deal and how do you do it?
Trust me, Lila, I do live in chaos. I'm not sure there is a way to do everything and do it well. That's funny you said all of that, because after we left on Monday, I said the same thing! You are one of the most talented people I know.
"Home is where women have the most power and influence; thereforeNurturing mothers are knowledgeable, but all the education women attain will avail them nothing if they do not have the skill to make a home that creates a climate for spiritual growth. Growth happens best in a "house of order,"Nurturing requires organization, patience, love, and work. Helping growth occur through nurturing is truly a powerful and influential role bestowed on women". -Sis. Julie Beck
"Too frequently, women underestimate their influence for good. Well could you follow the formula given by the Lord: 'Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God' (D&C 88:119)."In such a house will be found happy, smiling children who have been taught, by precept and example, the truth. In a Latter-day Saint home, children are not simply tolerated, but welcomed; not commanded, but encouraged; not driven, but guided; not neglected, but loved."Thomas S. Monson,, "The Spirit of Relief Society, Ensign," May 1992, 101-102
