All It Takes Is a Happy Mom


Heard in Stake conference today from Elder Quinton L. Cook...

he told of reading about a survey conducted many years ago.
The scientific study followed a group of people over 25 years of their life.
The study wondered what factor would make them HAPPY adults....
was it:

success,

career path,

power,

money,

fame?


The answer:
a mother who was HAPPY.

That was the single most common contributor to the happiness of the people as adults.


So, grandsons, are you listening to this...

marry a happy woman.


It will make all the difference to you and your children.

"If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" An oldie, but so true. Your post is a good reminder to all our boys, sons and grandsons!

My "CONTEST" was posted on Friday, November 6th. Sorry you missed it. I thought it was fun, but obviously not many did.

Dr. Oz also had a "Happiness Quiz" on his site that was fun to take:

I scored HAPPY INDEED! Thank goodness for that.

I LOVE this picture so much!!! It definitely captures her 'happy' smile that I have grown to love. And yes, I believe what you have said, a happy mother makes all the difference in the world to a husband and family.

Wow. That is a cool result.

It's so HARD....

 for me to go to church and be filled with the spirit and come home and see something that my kids or grandkids have posted on social media....
