This Woman's Work

I love the very last blessing of the initiatory in the temple.

It makes me ponder about the things I am here to do,

am I even close to doing them.

I know I was sent here to be a mother.

I am fortunate to have been taught to bring them up in the gospel.

I know if I do my part, with all my heart, might & strength,

He will make up the difference.

I need to be stronger, more disciplined, more loyal.

I can do hard things.

It will be worth it.

I still wonder, am I doing what I was sent here to do?

I can always do better.

Until I have finished my work on the earth.

Love it.

As the song goes by Kate Bush.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

Thank U Little Erin

It is winter break in Park City. In perfect fashion, it is snowing & to make it even better, I came upon the perfect recipe for a day such as this. I had every good intention to snuggle in with my fav hot drink in my cute cup from big erin, with the Jade Dragon Box, but life caught up with me. I stuffed it in, gulped it down, left the book (kindle) & headed out into the blustery day. (Oh I love winnie the pooh, reminds me of the Jackson days in the car his first year). At least I was energized to battle the storm & have something to look forward to on my return. It really is the little things in life that I need to make a little more time for.

cheers little erin for sharing this scrumpdidilyicious treat. xoxo
