"...she never misses church..."

Last year my son, Chad, was asked to speak in Sacrament meeting on Mother's Day with several other youth in our ward. I was excited to hear what he would come up with, half dreading a comical story that would have the ward laughing AT me, instead of WITH me.

I don't remember most of what Chad said that day. But I do remember him calling me a good example because "... she never misses church if she can help it." Instant tears came to my eyes. Chad had noticed that even though I was in pain most days, I still went to church. He knew I had a strong testimony because I didn't let the pain keep me home. He knows the Gospel is important to me and that I would suffer to attend the meetings.

I knew that day that all the pain I had ever suffered or ever would was worth it because my son knew I had testimony! And that my testimony and example had helped strengthen his testimony.

The thing I am most proud of in this world? The testimonies of my children!
