I remeber back a few years ago when all my children were little and people would say to me, "if you think it is hard now just wait until they are teenagers." I am finding just the opposite to be true. The older my children become the better they become. I really love the poeple they are becoming.

Just over a week ago I attended the YW General Meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with my two oldest girls. It was wonderful; full of love, kind words, and encouragement for the beautiful young women. Afterwards we discussed what touched their hearts and mine. It was a joy to hear them share their thoughts.

I feel very blessed to have my children in my life, and I look forward to the coming years along with the joys and the challenges that mold us into the great people we are born to be.
