Thank you, thank you

Harriet came up to me today and said, "Mom, you win The Best Today award."

I graciously said, "Thank you."

I didn't ask who else was in the running or what the contest was about. I just enjoyed my moment of glory because, quite frankly, there hasn't been much glory around these parts lately.

"The story is told that in ancient Rome a group of women were, with vanity, showing their jewels one to another. Among them was Cornelia, the mother of two boys. One of the women said to her, 'And where are your jewels?' To which Cornelia responded, pointing to her sons, 'These are my jewels.' They grew to be two of the most persuasive and effective reformers in Roman history. It is so obvious that the great good and the terrible evil in the world today are the sweet and the bitter fruits of the rearing of yesterday's children. As we train a new generation, so will the world be in a few years. If you are worried about the future, then look to the upbringing of your children." Gordan B. Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
