    Mother's Day - Episode 51

    Send a text Because it's never too late to hear encouragement for women and mothers, here's the talk Candice gave in her ward on Mother's Day. Quotes included in the talk: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) “Your worth isn’t tied to obedience. Your worth is constant; it never changes. It was given to you by God, and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do to change it. Obedience brings blessings; that is true. But worth isn’t one of them. Your worth is always “great in the sight of God,” no matter where your decisions have taken you. If you could hear the Savior praying for you, what do you think He would say? Listen for that voice that says good things about you—the voice of the Savior, your finest friend.” (Sister Tamara Runia) “Our continuing role is to receive continuing revelation.” (Sister Joy Jones) “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27) You found me!
