There is something so precious about listening to my little ones pour their hearts out to Heavenly Father in prayer. Tonight Quincy took her turn to pray and some of her requests were just so sweet. Like, "please bless all my classmates to be good tomorrow so we can get a glitter strip" AND "please bless mommy that she won't fall asleep while driving" (that has never happened) AND "bless the mommies everywhere to be nice to their children and give them what they need" (we read 1 Nephi 17 tonight for scripture study. In these chapters, Nephi is rebuking his brothers for being so hard hearted inspite of all the miracles they have witnessed. Nephi bears testimony that the Lord will give him strength to accomplish anything that has been commanded of him, including building a ship. I likened that unto my life and explained to the kids that mommies have been counseled, by living day prophets, to stay at home and care for their children, whenever possible. I bore my testimony that the Lord always provides a way for us to live His commandments and counsel. We talked about the blessings of having me always at home and that even though we don't get everything we want we have everything we need) She finished up her prayer with, " Heavenly Father bless Jesus-we love Him very much and we know that He is happy when we are being nice". Sweet Sweet Quincy!
