Sunday morning as I was saying my prayers I prayed specifically that Lincoln and Logan would be content and happy during church so I could listen to part of the talks.
One of the sisters who spoke is one of the women that I admire and look up to the most in my ward. And amazingly, I was able to pay attention to portions of her talk in between books, baby wipes, snacks, blocks, farm animals and coloring with the little folk.
Anyway, during her talk she referenced an address given by Julie Beck titled "Mothers Who Know." It piqued my interest so I read sister Beck's talk the next day and it was just what I needed to hear. I love it when that happens.
My favorite quote from her talk:
"Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all."
I'm so grateful for the powerful examples of amazing women I have all around me, including firstly my own mom.

It seems when Sister Beck speaks that it is just what I need to hear at that moment. I especially loved that talk as well.
