Building an Eternal Family

The greatest thing I have ever done has been the creation of my eternal family. I often get comments from people we pass by about how busy I must be or how full my hands are. I usually respond with "Oh yeah definitely" with a look of exasperation. As I have studied the proclamation on the family I realize people sometimes don't get that my family is not a burden on me. My family is my choice and a huge blessing. I feel like we live in a world where being a mother is a decision made when we can't find something better to do. As if we finally just settle and say "OK, I'll be a mom". I recently read about a celebrity that finds it offensive when people speculate about her being pregnant or wonder why she hasn't yet had a child. Wow I never imagined that people thinking being a mother as a wonderful thing, could offend somebody. I know not every woman will become a mother. At one point I wondered if I would. I do not judge anybody on their family. It's interesting that I receive judgement for mine.
