I love my children so much and really do love being a mommy, even though it may not always appear that way. I was reading another blog that I love and she had a post about this picture. I was truly inspired by her comments and wanted to post them here.
"This is a favorite piece of art that hangs in our home. Originally, Diego Rivera meant it as a more political piece symbolic of the burdens of the Mexican people. However, art is art. I appreciate it in a different sense. I see a woman with a tremendous load, yet it is a beautiful load. And she is not alone, she is never alone. Deity is behind her, helping her bear the load and lifting it. She has fallen to her knees and it is a good thing. I look at this picture everyday and am inspired. I hope you can be inspired by it also."
Being a mother is a great load to carry, but not a burden to carry! Our loads are heavy, but beautiful, like this piece of art depicts. And we must rely on our Father in Heaven to help carry our loads and make them lighter.
Here are some pictures of my silly girls. They are my treasures!

Thanks for sharing that April. I need to have the picture in my house to remind me of that everyday.
I like that!
Beautiful girls!! you're so right about the heavy load, but it is a privilege and work that I am glad to be doing. I mean, to be a mom is a lot better than actually carrying a giant basket of lilies around, right?
