These daughters of mine are truly amazing. Cameron has done an excellent job teaching them how to spoil me on days such as my birthday, mother's day, and christmas. However, he has always taken them to do the spoiling. I was pretty sure that with him being away for mother's day, the spoiling would go unspoiled. Not so. Saturday was a VERY long day for all of us. I had a major melt down, one of such magnitude that no amount of running or binge eating would have cured. So, I opted to go to bed. By 8:00 p.m. I was sound asleep. Heavenly! I went to bed leaving my kitchen with dishes in the sink, counters a mess, and the front room untidy. Not something I usually overlook. The girls disappeared to Grandma's and with her help they planted me a beautiful pot of flowers and wrote me a lovely card. Upon returning, they noticed the house in disarray, and busily went to work cleaning it. I awoke Sunday morning to a wonderful aroma coming from downstairs. The girls came giggling into the bedroom to announce that when I wanted to join them, breakfast was ready. Ready indeed. I first noticed how clean everything was. Compliments were made all around. I sat down to a table that was set with tablecloth, centerpiece of flowers, and a card at my place. I was so overcome with appreciation for my daughters I could barely speak. We had a delicious breakfast of french toast and scrambled eggs. I had no idea they even knew how to cook these things and it tasted so good. I could not have asked for a more perfect mother's day. As I sat in Relief Society and listened to Tiffany Guzman's beautiful lesson on motherhood, I was truly so grateful that Heavenly Father sent these beautiful daughters of His to me for a time. I hope that I can raise them in a way that He would be pleased with. They have come into my home with such amazing spiritual gifts. I hope that I can help teach them and help them cultivate their gifts.

Beautiful Daughters
