My "mother" heart is so full.

Sooo....I just have to be a little sappy for a moment....Tonight Amanda and I went to the General Young Women broadcast. I loved getting dressed up and having a daughter who was excitedly pushing me out the door. The stake had a dinner for all of us before the broadcast and Amanda was honored at the dinner for achieving her Personal Progress this last year. It was so adorable to see her hobble up there on her crutches. I was just so happy to be there with Amanda. During the broadcast the young women choir sang I'm trying to be like Jesus. A wonderful feeling that's hard to describe came over me. I was looking at all those beautiful young women singing and thinking that EACH one of them glowed with beauty. I had been to a highschool assembly earlier in the year were there were young women sitting all together...but, I didn't see the same glow. I noticed that a lot of the young women that were singing were wearing their personal progress medallion or torch necklace. I then looked over at my daughter sitting next to me and saw that same glow. She also had on her medallion and looked absolutely radiant. Oh, my....tears just came to my eyes so quick! My heart was soooo full. How blessed I am. I have the most amazing children! I don't notice sometimes because I'm so use to them and how much they radiate the light of Christ. I just need to take a moment to write how truly amazed I am at the simple everyday blessings that are a part of my life because of my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The words of encouragement and the charge to stand steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works by an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ is more of a blessing than I realize. I will treasure these moments with my daughter forever!
