A Mother Who Knows

This is my sister Sheena.  She's pregnant with their third child.  Even from when she was little Sheena has always loved babies more than anyone else I know.  We were all excited to find out she was pregnant.  And now, we've all cried with her as she's learned that this baby has a rare condition called triploidy.  This means the baby will not live.  I don't know why this would happen to her, one who's always had a soft spot for children in her heart, but God knows.  And although Sheena's heart is breaking, her faith that God knows remains strong.  Sheena is a "mother who knows".


"When mothers know who they are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have great power and influence for good on their children... Mothers who know are nurturers... Mothers who know are leaders... Mothers who know are always teachers... (Mothers who know) do not give up during difficult and discouraging times... Mother who know desire to bear children." -Julie B. Beck
