Motherhood, The Noblest Office

"President David O. McKay put it beautifully when he said, speaking of mothers, 'This ability and willingness properly to rear children, the gift to love, and eagerness, yes, longing to express it in soul development, make motherhood the noblest office or calling in the world."

(Gospel Ideals, Salt Lake City: Improvement Era, 1953, pp. 453-54) H. Burke Peterson, "Mother, Catch the Vision of Your Call," Ensign, May 1974, 31-32

Sounds like someone we know and love, don't you think?

From,
Dad
