Marie Osmond Celebrates Son Matthew's Return: A Heartwarming Family Moment

Hey there! Let's talk about one of the most heartwarming moments in Marie Osmond's life. If you know Marie, you know she’s always juggling a busy schedule, but family always comes first. Recently, she took a moment to celebrate her 20-year-old son Matthew’s return from a two-year church mission. In true Marie fashion, she shared her excitement and gratitude on Instagram, showing us just how much her family means to her.

Let me set the scene for you. It was a beautiful Sunday, January 12, and Marie, now 60, was glowing with pride. She posted, “This is such a busy weekend—a busy, wonderful weekend! Our son Matthew is here in Vegas, he spoke in church, and two of my grand babies are being blessed as well.” Her words were filled with joy, and she went on to explain how special it is to witness these blessings. “Heavenly Father never wants to miss an opportunity to bless a baby! It's the sweetest time for a child to receive their name and a blessing for life,” she added, making it clear how much this moment meant to her.

This is such a busy weekend—a busy wonderful weekend! Our son Matthew is here in Vegas, he spoke in church and two of my grand babies are being blessed as well. Heavenly Father never wants to miss an opportunity to bless a baby! 🥰 It is the sweetest time for a child to receive their name and a blessing for life. Then to be able to hear Matthew talk about his mission and the things he has learned, was just icing on the cake… oh we had some of that too!! 🎂👍😊 It was a proud moment for me to see how he’s grown, especially in his gratitude of the Savior and his attitude towards serving God’s children. His understanding of unconditional love touch this mamas heart.♥️ Being surrounded by family and dear friends is my greatest blessing and I never take it for granted. Also, I believe what my Dad taught us, “If you can get along with your family, you can get along with anyone!” I also added a bit to that when I taught my children, “You all picked each other to be siblings before this life, so figure out how to get along!” 😂 This scripture sums up how I feel today: “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” ~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 When things were unbelievably difficult, I never thought I would ever have a day like today, but I am 👍 and it’s all because of Father in Heaven’s love. I’ll close with a favorite passage from the Old Testament: “I will give thanks to the LORD…. I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.” ~Psalm 7:17 Take a little time today to send some love to a family member or loved one you haven’t connected with for awhile and tell them how grateful you are for them. After all, “If you can get along with your family… you can get along with anyone!” Hey, don’t get upset at me… blame my Dad, George for that one! 😂🤣😂 Grateful for you ALL!!! 🥰 Have the best day ever!! #SundayMessage

Matthew's Journey and Marie's Reflections

Marie shares Matthew with her ex-husband, Brian Blosil. Now married to Stephen Craig, she’s also a mom to seven other children—Stephen, Jessica, Rachael, Brandon, Brianna, Abigail, and her late son Michael. Since Matthew’s return, Marie has been soaking up every moment with him, eager to hear about his experiences during the mission.

She couldn’t help but gush about how proud she is. “To be able to hear Matthew talk about his mission and the things he has learned, was just icing on the cake … oh we had some of that too!! 🎂👍😊,” she wrote. “It was a proud moment for me to see how he’s grown, especially in his gratitude of the Savior and his attitude towards serving God’s children.”

Family Bonds and Life Lessons

Marie went on to share some heartfelt thoughts about family and unconditional love. “His understanding of unconditional love touches this mama’s heart. Being surrounded by family and dear friends is my greatest blessing, and I never take it for granted,” she reflected. She even shared a little life lesson she learned from her dad, George, saying, “If you can get along with your family, you can get along with anyone!” And with a touch of humor, she added, “You all picked each other to be siblings before this life, so figure out how to get along!” 😂

Who Does Matthew Resemble?

Now, out of all her kids, Matthew might not have the most in common with his mom. Marie once told Closer Weekly, “My daughter Rachael and I are very similar in a lot of ways. She has that same personality that I have where she wants to know and do everything. She’s never satisfied. She just took a hair class and now she’s taking this class.” It sounds like Rachael’s curiosity and drive are a lot like her mom’s.
