Everyday Religious Symbols

A scripture in the Book of Mormon states, "all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him [Jesus Christ]" (2 Nephi 11:4). Another scripture says, "all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator" (Alma 30:44). Do you agree that all things are types/symbols/denotations of God? Whether you do or don't, what things remind you of Christ or give you a point of reference for understanding him?

Mother's Day

Since Mother's Day is this Sunday, let's dedicate this post to our mothers. What has your mom taught you about faith and God? What do you think about the role of  mothers in general in God's plan? I'd love to read any and all of your mother-related thoughts.
