It reminds women everywhere of their strength, beauty, bravery, resilience and especially their divine nature as children of God. It shows women dealing with challenging and joyful circumstances. It is simple and powerful. It ends by reminding women that "You are enough."
Today I also saw a post written by someone who did not like this statement. This woman countered that we can never be enough for our children, that only Christ can be enough for any of us. While I agree with a lot of what she said, I think that it is important to note that her thoughts and the intent of the video are not incongruous.
It is very true that none of us are enough without the Savior. We cannot be successful in this life without the cleansing, enabling and redeeming power of the Atonement.
But this does not mean that we cannot be "enough" in our calling as mother. Our role as mother was never one to be done alone. We are taught over and over again (President Gordon B. Hinckley's talk at the General Women's meeting in September 2000 comes to mind right away) that as mothers we are partners with our Heavenly Father. What I feel like the video was reminding us it that, despite our weaknesses, imperfections, personal struggles, and situations, we are capable of raising our children. We are enough as we do our very best to teach our children about faith in Jesus Christ, how to repent, the importance of making and keeping covenants, what we can do to qualify for the Holy Ghost, the importance of obedience, and how we can serve God with joy. The Lord truly does not ask more of us than we can give, so what we are able to give is enough.
There have been times when I have felt inadequate in certain mothering situations, times that I felt lacking because I couldn't give my kids certain experiences, times that I felt like I was holding my kids back because I couldn't drive them somewhere. I know that the Adversary works very hard to make mothers feel like they aren't doing things right. He wants us to feel discouragement and despair. But like I said, these feelings do not come from our Heavenly Father. At my hardest times the Lord has reminded me that He sent these kids to me because of my unique gifts, experiences, and talents. These reminders are just what I needed to gain strength at challenging times..
I know that alone we are not "enough", but we are each enough as we partner with God to raise His children that He has sent to us.
