wonderful! Made me cry. I have 2 little ones here and 1 up in heaven and am trying my best to raise the ones here to the best of my ability in partnership with God. Just like any good parent, our Father in Heaven wants the best for us. He lives and loves us all. I'm grateful for prophets, like Elder Holland, that teach us that.

I thank Elder Holland for this beautiful message to mothers. It has blessed my life so much. It wouldn't hurt for me to hear it everyday!

@whartonnumber1 go to lds.org and, then general conference, select topic: Parenthood. there is a great talk on parenting teenagers. its called couragous parenting i forget who the speaker is, but its good. Not as uplifting as this one, but still good. trying to find the link, but my internet is being so slow.

I want my little ones again...all those times of frustration and tiring nights I want back.  I loved that time in my life. I want that little hand back in mine. Cherish your time with your children. How wonderful it is to be a mom parenting another of God's family. They were his first before he entrusted me with them.

Can't wait to be a momma.

I wish they'd do one showing mothers of teenagers. I need reinforment at that age! (There's less sweet moments to make up for the rotten ones like you have when they are little.)

I think this message was aimed specifically at mother's and motherhood, not to all women or to parenthood as a whole. Of course father's are responsible for parenting and of course women who do not have the opportunity to have families live blessed lives and are blessed by God. We believe that mothers primary responsibility is in home and family, in nurturing a good home life for her family, that a father is primarily responsible for providing for home and family-it;s a partnership

@alanarns

i think when Joseph Smith was translating the Book of Mormon, when he found a passage that seemed similar to what he'd read in the bible, maybe he got out his Bible and compared the words and read it, as far as it was saying the same thing is what he found written on the gold plates. Or the passages that looked similar he recalled from his memory, from his bible reading.

(BUT what does this have to do with MOTHERHOOD!? )

Hope my answer gave some clarification anyway :)
