Roles of Parenthood

Speaking on the role of a mother was the words given in qoutes below. Sister Holland - "I believe  mother  is one of those very carefully chosen words, one of those rich words—with meaning after meaning after meaning. We must not, at all costs, let that word divide us.

As I read through it thrice I felt some things about it. 1.        Much of the pain, sorrow, and heartache that is experienced in the world can be resolved and replaced with love and peace if adhered this principle is followed. 2.        Following this principle/concept could change the world, and change individuals. 3.       ...
