Mother: a Precious and Chosen Vessel
This painting is by Megan Rieker.

Throughout time the role of mother has remained constant: a nourisher, comforter, teacher, and  caretaker.  She is the vessel through which God may do his work—be it physically or spiritually, in so many ways she will be his hands on earth.  This is why women must choose to partake of only the best… so they can in turn give the best to others.  The term, ”A Precious and Chosen Vessel” is taken from the description given of Mary, and is used here to show that  mothers can be precious tools of our Father in Heaven.   

This painting has been displayed in the Museum of Church History and Art in 2006 as well as at the Hispanic Celebration and was printed in the August ‘06 edition of the Ensign Magazine. 

Elder Russell M. Ballard said:  “Every sister in this Church who has made covenants with the Lord has a divine mandate to help save souls, to lead the women of the world, to strengthen the homes of Zion, and to build the kingdom of God. Sister Eliza R. Snow (1804–87), the second general president of the Relief Society, said that “every sister in this church should be a preacher of righteousness … because we have greater and higher privileges than any other females upon the face of the earth”

Every sister who stands for truth and righteousness diminishes the influence of evil. Every sister who strengthens and protects her family is doing the work of God. Every sister who lives as a woman of God becomes a beacon for others to follow and plants seeds of righteous influence that will be harvested for decades to come. Every sister who makes and keeps sacred covenants becomes an instrument in the hands of God.” (”Women of Righteousness” 2002)
