Sister Brown explained it so I could understand. She said, “This is a program to lift and honor mothers. You may not know what it is to birth a child, but you lift mothers as well as anyone. Nearly every time you speak, you lift your mother or some mother.” I still felt unworthy, but I agreed to speak.
