Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers. I hope you have a wonderful day and get pampered. I’m trying to do that for the mothers of my children and grandchildren. If your mother is close by, give her a hug. If not giver her a call.
I’m thankful the mothers my wife and daughter are. And I am grateful for my mother and that the Good Lord has lengthened her years and blessed her with reasonably good health for being 94 years old. Because of circumstances in my family, I was raised by my father and a wonderful step-mother, but didn’t have a very good relationship with my mother until later in life. With her extended years, we now enjoy the relationship that was missing for way too long.

Following our baptism, each of us had those holding the Melchizedek Priesthood lay hands on our heads for us to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. If we are faithful, we can have His influence with us. Through Him, we each can be blessed with certain spiritual powers called gifts of the Spirit. These gifts are given to those who are faithful to Christ. They will help us know and teach the truths of the gospel. They will help us bless others. They will guide us back to our Heavenly Father. …
To find the gifts we have been given, we must pray and fast. Often patriarchal blessings tell us the gifts we have received and declare the promise of gifts we can receive if we seek after them. I urge you each to discover your gifts and to seek after those that will bring direction to your life’s work and that will further the work of heaven. …
The gifts of the Spirit can guide and enrich our lives. They can strengthen us spiritually and temporally. They can help us bless the lives of others. Most important, they can bring us comfort in times of trial. They can help us magnify our callings. They can help guide us in our relationships. They can help us avoid being deceived.
-Elder Robert D. Hales, February 2002 Ensign
