Reverance

Our dinner table conversation Sunday night was enlightening.

Paul: "So Rachel what did you learn about in primary today?"

Rachel: "Oh," (in her proper princess voice) "well we learned about Jesus and about being reverant."

Paul: "Being reverant huh? How do we be reverant?"

Rachel: "Well we sit quietly and fold our arms."

Me: "That's great Rachy! What do we THINK ABOUT when we are being reverant?"

Rachel: (without skipping a beat) "Well we think about Heavenly Father, and Jesus, and butterflies."

I love being a parent.

Forgiveness

WOW.

What a beautiful testimony about the power of forgiveness and the healing power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I remember this experience so clearly. Paul and I watched the news story and I cried and cried. I was filled with anxiety and "WHAT IF's". What if that happens to MY family? What would I do? Would I be able to cope? Would I turn to anger and vengance or would I turn to my Savior to find peace? I love how Chris says, "I am simply a vessel". A vessel to let the Lord's love and knowledge and brilliance flow through. THAT is Amazing Grace.

WOW.
