I LOVE this quote. I guess it was just what I needed to hear today.
"I see women who are doing their absolute best in every way – but they keep track only of their mistakes. They make lists of things they haven't done instead of the phenomenal amount of things they've accomplished. No matter what mountain of achievement they've just climbed, they stumble over molehills, saying things like, "But it's not enough," or, "I didn't do it well enough."
The good news of the gospel is that who we are is okay. Our best is good enough. The Savior came for us –just as we are.…perfect people don't need a Savior. He came to save his people in their imperfections. He is the Lord of the living, and the living make mistakes. He's not embarrassed by us, angry at us, or shocked. He wants us in our brokenness, in our unhappiness, in our guilt and our grief." ~Chieko Okazaki

About Me
- LaLa
- My family is spread across the U.S. and now even overseas. I blog to keep in touch with them and to keep a record of our lives for my four beautiful daugthers to read and enjoy someday! My perfect day requires at least 100 kisses. I loved the first kiss my sweet hubby gave me 21 years ago walking in the rain on our third date and I love his kisses still! Lip locks with my honey or kisses on the back of my girls' sweet little necks or on the bridge of their nose are about as good as it gets. I love butterfly kisses and bear kisses and really just kisses of any kind. Unless you're sick...then don't come near me because I DON'T love snotty-nose kisses and germs. Ewww!

Laura,
Great quote. I know you and your siblings accomplish, daily many of the most important duties and responsibilities of motherhood and go beyond with acts of service. Your previous post about your trip to South America is a classic example. You are one of the best of the best. Love, Dad and Claudia
I love this quote Laura. It is so true, I am one of those women who doesn't think she's quite up to the mark and am always whipping myself for my mistakes instead of my accomplishments. Someone told me i was their sunshine with my charitable attitude to life recently and i replied something along the lines of "Me! I'm no different to any other woman" but i am and i need to appreciate more of what i've accomplished rather than what i haven't. Keep blogging and saving to come to visit us :-)
