Today was fast Sunday, which if I am going to be honest, I dread sometimes. And other times I really feel the spirit, even more than if there was a speaker. Anyway, today was one of those days. My little teenager has looked forward to fast Sundays every month for the past 3 months. She usually is one of the first ones up there. I love how she sets such a good example for her little sisters. She has such a sweet spirit. She is not scared and knows exactly what she wants to say. Well, today she talked her little sister into wanting to do it also. My little sweetie was so scared, she kept saying "I want to"..."No, I will wait for next month". She finally decided she wanted to, so I can't deny her that opportunity. But of course, someone had to go with her. I got to be the lucky one that got to go. And you can't just take her up there and then not do it yourself. So I bore my testimony, which I have a very strong one at times and weak at others. Today I did feel the spirit and I had so much in my heart but for some reason I could not say it. I sounded like a blubbering idiot!!! And I kept saying the wrong words. Hopefully, I am not the only one out there that feels that way sometimes. I am so thankful for the gospel and the happiness that it brings and I am thankful for Temples and the blessings you receive and promises that you make there. I went to the Temple 3 times last month and I can't believe what a difference it makes. I have so many things that I am blessed with and I try to remember those things when I have one of those days. I have to apologize in advance to all my ward members who are reading this...........not only did you have to listen to me today, but I you get to hear from me next month. I let you know so you can miss that day. I hope I won't sound like such an idiot if I have it written down. I am so proud of my girls and the desires they have to make good decisions. They help me more than I help them.
So it is time for a new post don't you think!!!! This was from a long time ago but I keep forgetting to post it. One day I was working in the kitchen (before my little bug was crawling) and I set her on the floor beside me. The next thing I know I look down and she is under the bar stool. I have no idea how she mastered that one. There are 4 bars all around the bottom of the stool and they are not very far off the ground. Like I said, she wasn't even crawling yet. Not even scooting. It was pretty much sitting and that was it. So the tricky little thing played under that stool for about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. She was having so much fun she attracted all her big sisters over to play with her. They were pretending they were animals in cages. What imaginations kids have. I wish I could be as care free as they are.
