Everything I needed to know I learned from my mom


Happy Mother's Day! I just wanted to make a little tribute to my mom since this is mother's day. My mom taught me A LOT of things! She taught me how to...

Say please and thank you and sorry if I made someone sad
Not to judge a book by it's cover
To pray and have faith that Heavenly Father is listening
To be grateful for what I have and not long for what I don't have
To be nice to my brothers and sisters
To work hard...clean the bathrooms, vacuum, make my bed with tight corners, pull weeds, wash windows, sort and fold laundry, and all other essentials for running a house
To cook
To sew (I am still working on that)
To be patient
To try to live in the other person's shoes before you judge
To keep my body clean and pure
To help those less fortunate
To not honk if you want someone to come outside
To study hard and value education

These are just the tip of the iceberg, literally everything I know I learned from my mom. I am still working on things that she has long since accomplished. I can't remember my mom every raising her voice, with 7 kids that is a lot of patience. I can't remember my mom complaining about how much she had to cook, how many dishes and how much laundry 7 kids could make. I can't remember her ever saying anything bad or negative about someone else. She is an amazing woman and I love her so very much!
