Sister Beck quotes Sister Eliza R. Snow as saying, "Women should be women and not babies that need petting and correction all the time. I know we like to be appreciated but if we do not get all the appreciation which we think is our due, what matters?"
How's that for a smack in the face? I was thinking just yesterday that I was feeling like a slave in my own home. I spent all day on Saturday taking care of my baby, putting away laundry, doing dishes, preparing dinner, cleaning up the living room, making my bed, etc, etc because we were recovering from coming home from a little vacation. I was feeling very sorry for myself. Well, I guess I needed that smack in the face. It's my job. This is how I serve my family. It's how I serve the Lord.
