SELF-RELIANCE AND POTENTIAL - Talents and Gifts

"And again, I exhort you, my brethern,
that ye deny not the gifts of God.
for they are many; and they come from the same God.
And there are different ways that these
Gifts are administered; but it is the same God
who worketh all in all; and they are given
by the manifestations of the Spirit of God
unto men, to profit them."
Moroni 10:8

Happy Mothers Day to all my beautiful daughters and daughters-in-law. I love you very much and as it says in D&C 64:33 "Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great."

Let a mother counsel her children with love as well as with knowledge, for a proud youth may not heed his mother's words---but he will not forget her love.

President Benson said, "Mothers in Zion, your God-given roles are so vital to your own exaltation and to the salvation and exaltation of your family. A child needs a mother more than all the things money can buy. Spending time with our children is the greatest gift of all.
