My Mom and Dad

I ran into a post the other day that was praising my mom when my mom was her young women's leader.  And I thought, why is someone else posting about my mother and I haven't even done it?  So this is my ode to my mom and dad.  They have had quite a year.  They gave one of the best talks on marriage as an equal partnership that I have ever heard(and I am very unbiased right?) at Women's Conference this year.  Audio can be found here and the PDF, here.  They also wrote a book together, visit Amazon to view here.  I have always loved them and thought they were wonderful, but as a kid I just didn't "get it."  They are so incredible and I just thought everyone was like my mom and dad.  As I am reading their new book, I realized it isn't a book just for "teachers and students"  it is for me as a parent.  This is what they did for us when we were kids. I am so excited to be a "teacher" to my kids and help them develop into the kind of "learner" that will find great joy in this life.  So this day, I am grateful for parents.  I was blessed with goodly parents who have loved, supported, and more importantly taught me.  I love them.  Thanks mom and dad.
