MOTHERHOOD

"About every true mother there is a sancity of martyrdom-
and when she is no more in the body, her children see her with
the ring of light around her head."

Godey's Lady's Book, 1867

THE ART OF DOMESTIC BLISS

.....in a time lacking in certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of it's lost heart. -Louise Bogan
“And there are my children!
My darling, precious children!
For their sakes I am continually constrained
to seek after an amended, a sanctified life;
what I want them to become
I must become myself”.

~ Elizabeth Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward

Utah's Famous Green Jello Recipe



The first commemorative pin issued by the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Committee was an image of "green"-that is, lime--Jell-O. More of the clean-cut gelatin is eaten in Mormon Utah than any other state in the union.






Utah might be designated as the Jello State (complete with a Green Jello Olympic pin), but our penchant for Jello expanded far beyond state lines. Jello became a Mormon legend of its own. Some popular Jello salads include: Raspberry Jello with frozen raspberries, pineapple, bananas, and chopped pecans; “Company Best Set Salad” made with lemon Jello, miniature marshmallows, pineapple, bananas, and a thickened cream topping; Blueberry Jello salad, whose many variations combined raspberry or blackberry Jello made dark purple with juice from canned blueberries, and pineapple, cream cheese, and whipping cream.






Here is The most famous Utah Green Jello recipe. I made it tonight. It is a perfect treat being green and all....considering it's St. Patrick's Day This week!

UTAH's FAMOUS GREEN JELL-O

1 cup water
1-6 oz pkg lime gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, optional
1 cup crushed pineapple, un-drained
2 cups whipping cream


Bring water to a boil. Put gelatin and sugar in a medium sized bowl; add boiling water stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Add lemon juice if desired; stir in crushed pineapple. Refrigerate until syrupy. Whip cream until stiff. Fold into gelatin mixture. Place in 9x13 inch pan. Refrigerate for several hours until firm.

An Island of Security....A Mother at Home

Very largely does the wife hold in her hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness and the highest good of the hearts that nestle there. In the last analysis, home happiness depends on the wife.
  • Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere.
  • Her hands fashion its beauty.
  • Her heart makes its love.
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, that no woman who has been called to be a wife, and has listened to the call, should consider any price too great to pay, to be . . .

the light,
the joy,
the blessing,
the inspiration,
of a home.

The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies.

A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness.

God sends many beautiful things to this world,

many noble gifts;

but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows

in a mother

who has learned love's lessons well,

and has realized something of the meaning

of her sacred calling.
