The Behunin Bunch: "Mama"

The primary song "Love is Spoken Here" totally reminds me of my mom. I honestly remember getting all teary-eyed in primary every time we'd sing that, and the song "Families Can Be Together Forever" because I remember loving my mom so much. . . "I see my mother kneeling with our family each day. I hear the words she whispers as she bows her head to pray. Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears. And I am thankful, Love is Spoken Here."

"There is no role in life more essential and more eternal than that of motherhood.”

Not just the best mom, but the best Grammy too.

“A mother’s nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experienced in their pre-mortal existence. Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us.”
Elder M. Russell Ballard

"As a mother you have been given divine instincts to help you sense your child’s special talents and unique capacities,” Elder Scott.

I've definitely felt help from a divine Heavenly Father as I'm learning how to be a mom to this boy.

Elder Holland says, “May I say to mothers collectively, in the name of the Lord, you are magnificent. You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you.”

With this being my first Mother's Day as a Mother myself, it is meaning more to me this year than it probably ever has. I mean, I've always loved Mother's Day because well, I LOVE MY MOM. I always looked forward to having a day dedicated just to her. It was the ONE day of the whole year that I think she got to relax, if even for just a few minutes while we all scurried to serve her. But this year as Mother's Day approaches and I think about my own Mom, I feel more blessed than ever because I finally understand the love she has for me and the sacrifice she made for me.

Flowers for Mama.

I absolutely love being a Mom. Yes it's lots of work sometimes, but it is mostly fun and for sure is the most rewarding and fulfilling calling I've ever had! My mom made growing up so much fun! She created so many fun times and memories for us. She still does. And she raised us with all the love she has. I never ever questioned my mom's love for me or mine for her. She's just the best I tell you.

I can't get enough of her!

This Mother's Day I am thankful to be a mom. I am so grateful that my Father in Heaven trusted me enough to allow little old me this opportunity. I especially feel blessed that I get to be the mother of Treagan. He is such a little stud. He's so sweet, and I honestly could not ask for more in a son. I hope and pray every single day that I can raise him in love and righteousness and can teach him to love his Savior. I hope Kelly and I can teach him together about love, keeping the commandments, and be examples to him. Anyway, my little heart is just feeling so full of gratitude.
