Motherly Things

As I re-dedicate myself to getting back on track this week - studying the gospel is one of my TOP "getting back on track" priorities. Since my new calling is a Ward Missionary, (totally OUT of my comfort zone), I thought I'd start by studying the Preach My Gospel manual. I came across a quote I that hit me like a pile of bricks. I thought I'd share it today. (FYI - I substituted mother for missionary)

You need
to be a Christlike mother,
not just do motherly things.

Learning to be like Christ is a lifelong pursuit.
You follow Christ’s example—develop His attributes—
one action and decision at a time.

Changing to become Christlike requires
exercising faith,
repenting,
keeping covenants,
receiving an increased measure of the Holy Ghost,
and enduring to the end.


I LOVE it - don't you?
