A Primary Song for Mothers

I've had a primary song stuck in my head all day, so I decided to look up the lyrics. I’m so grateful I did. For the first time, I saw the song through the lens of a mother rather than the lens of a child. I invite all my fellow mom’s out there to read these lyrics and apply them to YOU.

As a Child of God

I came to earth with power to choose.

Good choices bless me and my family too.

As a child of God, I receive special light:

The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

I feel so safe and happy because

Such feelings of peace come from family love.

As a child of God, I receive special light:

The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

In my own home I’ll happily serve.

I’ll strengthen my family by my good works.

As a child of God, I receive special light:

The Holy Ghost helps me to know what is right.

My spirit has been so touched by this special message tonight. I feel Heavenly Father’s love for me, His daughter. And the more I read and contemplate the message in the song, the more I realize how specific and important it is to my current life as a mother. I pray we can all draw strength in our motherhood from such beautiful, empowering truths. I know I will!
