We have been very lax in our family home evening activities and I had the wake-up call from my dear little daughter who planned the entire lesson for tonight. She decided that we had not been doing okay and needed to make sure that we were holding FHE, even though her dad has been going to class on Monday nights for quite some time.
Do your children ever make you sit up wonder how they are turning out okay, without any apparent help from you? That is exactly how I feel today. Somehow, she is learning and growing and I don't know where she is getting it from.
I wholeheartedly believe that my children have been given strengths that defy what I'm able to do to mess them up at this point. I am so glad that they have the strong spirits that are needed to face the situations and turmoil in this life. They are happy and resilient, and I am proud to be their mother.
Oh what a wonderful thing! Hope your FHE went well. It sounds like it did. :)
ReplyDeleteIf we could all be like little children....What a great example she is, too! My daughter is the same way, she is our spiritual barometer.
ReplyDeleteYep, it is my kids who keep insisting that we read scriptures each night. I sometimes would rather just go to bed, but they insist and I am glad about that.
ReplyDeleteDang! She is a CUTIE Teri!
