Well - I didn't write yesterday. Mostly because after I got home, I crashed out.
The lesson yesterday was how special mom's truly are. I mean, the Lord truly loves women and has given us the most incredible blessing - to bear and bring up his chosen children. Now, my children are growing and I tend to forget how they were when they were infants. Aislinn was gone for a few days, and I got the blessing of watching over her brood while she was away. This taught me a few things. 1) How easy it is to forget that our children USED to be infants. 2) That infants wake up VERY early. It is a blessing to care for someone else's children. Especially when one of those children is super dependant. I needed a good reminding about my own children, and how I am very needed no matter how big they get. Too often I find myself thinking that They are big enough to handle things on their own... I am not needed. Yesterday heavenly father woke me up very early (for the second day in a row) to remind me again that as a mom, I am always needed.
Today was fast and testimony meeting. I am grateful for these days, for they seem to be the easiest day for finding Heavenly Father's presence. I was called (On short SHORT notice) to lead the music in primary. As I was unprepared with any music or games, I found myself trying to fly by the seat of my pants. So, today not only did I get a great deal out of testimony meeting, but I was also humbled by being put back into the primary for a moment so I could help out. I did it for 18 months, and I had forgotten how hard it truly was. But, I am grateful that children do not judge like adults do. They were not worried that I didn't know the words to the welcome song. They didn't seem bothered that I had little sense of direction when it came to what we were doing. The spirit was so strong when you have a whole primary singing "Called to Serve". I changed the words to "Called to serve the children in Primary" and they all laughed. Heavenly Father knows just what needs to be done, and I am grateful that he made it so I could be in Primary today. But isn't that part of the church - to run smoothly even when people who are called are not able to make it due to vacations or illness? Another lightbulb comes on, and I love how everything works so perfectly when it's designed by God.
