Moms these days are so busy being taxi drivers with all the busy-ness that kids find themselves involved in ongoing. There are games to be taken to, lessons to be driven too all by their mothers, mostly.
The time I had with my children with there paper routes was priceless. We had good bonding times and listened to good music at the same time in our home. I would record the Sounds of Sundays in those growing up years and played that kind of music while I prepared dinner. It really brought a peaceful spirit into our home.
Mother's role is to bring her children unto Christ with the help of fathers. Time well spent with them should center around doing just that. It is our work and glory to bring to pass the eternal lives and immortality of our children.
Now, today my daughters take their children to their meetings, sports activities, music lesson, dental and doctor appointments, the list goes on. But what a great time for one-on-one time to talk to each other and have a captive audience to teach them what you know and your own testimonies. I pray that each of you will find ways to strengthen your families every opportunity you get.
I know one of my children will read the scriptures to the children as they ride to Salt Lake or short trips to activities that involve all the family while the wife drives. They are doing two things at the same time, and get their daily scriptures in on the way. It just takes effort and commitment to bring that influence often into your teaching moments.
