because I am a mother too...

I am sure many of you know NieNie and her story of her plane crash. If not check out her blog.  But I ran across this video today put out by our church

Her words express the sacred role we believe all women have as mothers.  It is something 
I believe with my whole heart.
That God loves me and that my purpose is this family that JaDee and I have created together. And through the mundane, routine, and repetitive tasks that surround my day, there is beauty in it all.





Happy Mother's Day.

Thanks for sharing that! That was awesome. I've read her words, but never heard Nie's voice.

That is so cool! I admire that lady so much. Thanks for sharing! And yes, I think the fantasy part of the canyon was pretending it was cooler than it actually was.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I know I definitely can get caught in feeling like my everyday tasks are mundane and I am not accomplishing anything. This was such a good reminder of the value of it all. Thank you!

Wow! I watched it twice and cried both times, it's a great reminder that we have a bigger purpose here, not to just maintain our beauty or to seek after riches. It's amazing to be reminded! Thank you!

I just love this lady....I want to meet her, and most times when I'm in Provo, I watch for her;)....I think she is beautiful and amazing. I may steal this and add it to my blog as well, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this message, I've seen parts of her story before and this is a beautiful video and message.

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

"Education enriches the mind and enlightens the
soul," --Nicole Moncur 2008

"Reading can be dangerous." --Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale


BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
