october 24 2015 eternal perspectives on motherhood i ve always loved the beautiful line from the hymn by eliza r snow entitled oh my father that speaks of eternal parenthood and forever families truth eternal tells me i ve a mother there something i ve always felt in my heart is the presence of an eternal mother in heaven a sacred not secret point of doctrine not often mentioned in the doctrines of the church of jesus christ of latter day saint s the mormons although infrequently mentioned a no less important thought and principle than the fact that we are all children of a heavenly father who loves us a tenet of our faith that has always drawn me closely to learning and following gospel principles is that the family unit a mother father and children is at the center of our theology it simply resonates within me that the family is the purpose of all other gospel doctrine and principles the earth was created for families to nurture strengthen and bless one another our savior jesus christ came to earth suffered died and accomplished the atonement that we might all have the opportunity to be eternal families a beautiful scripture from the pearl of great price tell us what our heavenly father s purpose is this is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man moses 1 39 i m so delighted to read this beautiful essay mother in heaven that appeared just recently on the essay site of the church i m linking to and copying the complete essay in it s entirety here because it s a subject i would love to ponder more about i ve always loved catching the light of christ in the eye s of women through my photography i believe that through our womanly and feminine images and roles we are able to catch a glimpse of the heavenly mother in whose countenance we were created to visit original article click here almost all of these are my personal photos where they are not i have given photo credit mother in heaven the church of jesus christ of latter day saints teaches that all human beings male and female are beloved spirit children of heavenly parents a heavenly father and a heavenly mother this understanding is rooted in scriptural and prophetic teachings about the nature of god our relationship to deity and the godly potential of men and women 1 the doctrine of a heavenly mother is a cherished and distinctive belief among latter day saints 2 while there is no record of a formal revelation to joseph smith on this doctrine some early latter day saint women recalled that he personally taught them about a mother in heaven 3 the earliest published references to the doctrine appeared shortly after joseph smith s death in 1844 in documents written by his close associates 4 the most notable expression of the idea is found in a poem by eliza r snow entitled my father in heaven and now known as the hymn o my father this text declares in the heav ns are parents single no the thought makes reason stare truth is reason truth eternal tells me i ve a mother there 5 subsequent church leaders have affirmed the existence of a mother in heaven in 1909 the first presidency taught that all men and women are in the similitude of the universal father and mother and are literally the sons and daughters of deity 6 susa young gates a prominent leader in the church wrote in 1920 that joseph smith s visions and teachings revealed the truth that the divine mother is side by side with the divine father 7 and in the family a proclamation to the world issued in 1995 the first presidency and quorum of the twelve apostles declared each person is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents and as such each has a divine nature and destiny 8 prophets have taught that our heavenly parents work together for the salvation of the human family we are part of a divine plan designed by heavenly parents who love us taught elder m russell ballard of the quorum of the twelve apostles 9 president harold b lee stated we forget that we have a heavenly father and a heavenly mother who are even more concerned probably than our earthly father and mother and that influences from beyond are constantly working to try to help us when we do all we can 10 latter day saints direct their worship to heavenly father in the name of christ and do not pray to heavenly mother in this they follow the pattern set by jesus christ who taught his disciples to always pray unto the father in my name 11 latter day saints are taught to pray to heavenly father but as president gordon b hinckley said the fact that we do not pray to our mother in heaven in no way belittles or denigrates her 12 indeed as elder rudger clawson wrote we honor woman when we acknowledge godhood in her eternal prototype 13 left photo credit cherise gunter as with many other truths of the gospel our present knowledge about a mother in heaven is limited nevertheless we have been given sufficient knowledge to appreciate the sacredness of this doctrine and to comprehend the divine pattern established for us as children of heavenly parents latter day saints believe that this pattern is reflected in paul s statement that neither is the man without the woman neither the woman without the man in the lord 14 men and women cannot be exalted without each other just as we have a father in heaven we have a mother in heaven as elder dallin h oaks of the quorum of the twelve apostles has said our theology begins with heavenly parents our highest aspiration is to be like them 15 resources genesis 1 26 27 moses 3 4 7 romans 8 16 17 psalm

do not represent the church or the liahona children s foundation in any way but my own personal photos i ve collected along the way here in honduras my thoughts for missionary families and others many many members of the church have served missions in developing countries of the world many families have members now serving in developing counties many many families hear about the heartache the challenges of these members of the church and others through the reports of their missionaries many wonder what they could possibly do to help when they are so far away well i have some information for you malnutrition is a serious problem throughout the developing world it literally stares us in the face daily in our missionary work here in honduras and it pulls at my heart strings daily many severely malnourished children suffer lifelong cognitive and physical defects leading to increased levels of poverty and decreased potential earning power which in turn become a vicious cycle in the next generations because of the success of the church s the church of jesus christ of latter day saints missionary program in bringing many people into the gospel in developing countries it is not unusual to find severely malnourished children among the latter day saints in these countries honduras certainly being one of the most humble countries that is an example of malnourishment amongst it s very youngest members of the church someone should do something right the liahona childrens foundation was created about six years ago to address malnutrition among latter day saint children worldwide it is a federally recognized 501 c 3 non profit organization independent of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints although it is administered by faithful latter day saint members and is funded by members of the church in the united states and other countries malnutrition is a hidden condition and not easily detected but through weights and measures based on standard growth charts set by the world health organization the foundations volunteer screeners can accurately identify children in need of nourishment assistance re screenings later on show that the children receiving the supplements show significant progress in a short amount of time branches wards and stakes all over the world are currently in need of supplemental health to provide nourishment to severely malnourished children in their units the cost of preventing such cognitive and physical problems related to malnutrition is surprisingly reasonable less than 100 a year to provide the supplemental nutrients needed to feed the brain and body during this critical period of growth and development the incredible returns from such a minimal investment are amazing you can see in the video the hope and peace and joy that these families experience at the physical assistance for their little ones but in turn they have the opportunity to become healthy contributing members of the church in their areas branches wards and stakes contributing many times over the initial amount needed to provide such nourishment i am only suggesting that if you are searching for means to make a difference in the life of many of the members of the church throughout the wide wide world you consider taking a look at this organization and see if it is something that you can support i can share my own thoughts with you with every bit of energy that i possess that the situations you see in this video and the other videos available...
