This is a great quote from a Christian woman whom Elder Neil L. Andersen referenced in his October 2011 General Conference address, "Children." Makes you think, where does the importance children, or family, rank in your personal life? Enjoy.
“[Growing] up in this culture, it is very hard to get a biblical perspective on motherhood. … Children rank way below college. Below world travel for sure. Below the ability to go out at night at your leisure. Below honing your body at the gym. Below any job you may have or hope to get.” She then adds: “Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. You do not collect children because you find them cuter than stamps. It is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in. It is what God gave you time for.”7
