President Hinckley

This is my new favorite quote from our beloved prophet. And just think, my baby Joy was a part of the big celebration that welcomed this special man back home after a long life of service.

"Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these little ones. Now, love them, take care of them...welcome them into your homes and nurture and love them with all of your hearts."

  2. I think I agree with Mike...something must be going on in heaven for all these special people to be taken. I bet Joy is coloring the walls of your mansions right now!

  10. Sister Weaver, I clicked over from Molly Jackson's site and just wanted you to know I've enjoyed reading your blog, your faith, perserverance, etc...and your family is in my prayers. Tomrrow I will be sustained as Primary President in my ward for the first time, and it just so happens to be the Sunday of the program, too. After I am sustained, I have to open the program, and this quote will be my theme. Thanks for posting it and for being a loving faithful mother--Joy will be so happy to greet you and thank you when your mortal mission is done!
