There’s Hope!

It has been a crazy week and it is only Tuesday. I have an official toddler! One who can go out the front door, down the steps, and into the driveway! I don’t know if I am ready for that. She also figured out how to climb onto a chair.

Adam left Sunday morning. Everybody knows how fun that it! A little more crying, a little more fighting, and a lot more running around with all the kids, and nobody to step in when I need a Mommy time out!

But there is hope!! Last night at Family Home Evening Nikolas had the scripture! He looked and looked and couldn’t find what he wanted. Finally he gave up and said that he favorite scripture is when Helaman’s little army finished the battle and not one of the boys was hurt. We found that chapter and he found the verse he wanted "Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death…yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them." He then said that his mother taught him good things and he knew it and would try harder to listen to her. WOW! I just cried and gave him a hug. What a guy!

Then today Ammon brought home a sharing bag. He picks three things that are special to him and he gets to share them with the whole class. When I asked him what he wanted to take he asked if we had a small picture of Jesus. "Sure." I said. "Why do you want to take that?" "Because he loves me and he helps people who are blind and can’t walk or talk. He can help me too." Alright enough said.

I love that my children are learning and remembering what Adam and I are teaching them. I love that they teach me all the time!
