satisfaction, joy & peace


"I wish to say without equivocation that a woman will find no greater satisfaction and joy and peace and make no greater contribution to mankind than in being a wise and worthy woman and raising good children."
{Spencer W. Kimball}

I heard this quote for the first time tonight, and it really hit me that even though some of my days seem full of redundancy, discipline, dirty work and exhaustion, raising these "good" ones is what I'm supposed to be doing.  I hope I can find the satisfaction, joy and peace in all of their little stages along the way.
