Knowledge Is Never Wasted

This week we read an article by Dennis Prager titled, Does a Full-Time Homemaker Swap Her Mind for a Mop? and I loved it! I totally agree that a woman's education is not wasted in the home. There are so many things that we are learning and doing to prepare for having a family of our own. It takes a lot of work to be a mother and I know that the more schooling I get, the more prepared I will be to get married and have children. I learn something new every time I attend class and it is so great! I want to be educated and help my children become more educated in the things that they are learning. My mom didn't attend college and when I needed help with more complex homework, it was hard because she wasn't sure how to hlep. I know that many of us forget the little things that we learn, but the life lessons that are learned while attending college are more valuable than we realize. The more we know, the more we can teach. 
I want my kids to grow up loving to learn new things and the education and knowledge I gain will be very important in this happening.
When children have questions, we can share with them what we already know and then do more research with them about their question to get a better understanding. There is always something to be learned no matter our age. We should be continually learning and sharing our knowledge with others. 
Parents learn so much from children and I know that it is a privilege to be a mother!


In D&C 130:18 it reads, "Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection."
What a blessing it is to know that when we are resurrected, we will have all the knowledge that we have worked for here on earth. Everything we learn will benefit us at one point or another.
