| The LDS Stay Home Moms (Homemoms) email group was started to fulfill needs of mothers who have chosen to follow the devine edict of staying home full time with their children rather than follow the world's pattern of joining the workforce full time, and leaving their children elsewhere. Its purpose is to provide support, form friendships, share ideas and be uplifting for its members in that divinely appointed role. |

To help us understand better please
consider the following words and apply them to motherhood: "When one puts business or pleasure above his home, he that moment starts on the downgrade to soul-weakness. When the club becomes more attractive to any man than his home, it is time for him to confess in bitter shame that he has failed to measure up to the supreme opportunity of his life and flunked in the final test of true manhood. No other success can compensate for failure in the home. The poorest shack in which love prevails over a united family is of greater value to God and future humanity than any other riches. In such a home God can work miracles and will work miracles." David O. McKay (1873-1970), 9th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (in Conference Report, Apr. 1964, 5). |
