Courtesy of Maxine Levy, heres a piece attributed to David O. McKay (ninth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and whom I knew nothing about, until Googling this narrative), and which I think is a very nice gift to all the moms. Happy Mothers Day. I miss you, Mom! The noblest calling in the world is that of mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after painting shall have faded, and books and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give.
