To all the Moms and Moms to be, today we honour you for all the wonderful blessings you bring to our homes. You truly are the glue that binds our homes together. Your unconditional love, your concern and your strength are much appreciated and probably not always recognized. I loved the following thoughts that were given by the Brethren;
Perhaps the reason we respond so universally to our mothers’ love is because it typifies the love of our Savior. As President Joseph F. Smith said, “The love of a true mother comes nearer [to] being like the love of God than any other kind of love”
As in all things, the Savior set the perfect example in the love He showed for His earthly mother. In the final, most pivotal moment of His mortal life—after the anguish of Gethsemane, the mock trial, the crown of thorns, the heavy cross to which He was brutally nailed—Jesus looked down from the cross and saw His mother, Mary, who had come to be with her Son. His final act of love before He died was to ensure that His mother would be cared for, saying to His disciple, “Behold thy mother!” And from that point on the disciple took her unto his home. As the scriptures say, then Jesus knew that “all things were now accomplished,” and He bowed His head and died (see John 19:27–28, 30).
With that thought we wish all mothers a very special day today and everyday! We honour each of you and strive to understand our stewardship to you, our wives and families.

On behalf of all us mothers and mothers-to-be, thankyou.
We have a great family and it is an honor to be part of it as a mother.
