Advent calendar

Let's make stuff, like a countdown until general conference! I haven't decided yet how to make one, or when we ought to start one, but I have some pretty good ideas.

I want to build a liahona for FHE, too. But, first we need to finish learning our special song ,"I'm Trying to be Like Jesus." First, huh? Forgive me, I get over zealous sometimes. You guys are doing great on the song so far, I do not want to jepordize that. It is a good foundation for life. We have been counseled in the past to think and sing a song to fill our minds so there is no room left for other thoughts. Also, I'll share a story with you about how I used a song.

I used to go to the practice rooms in the music hall late at night and I would start to get scared. It seems silly to me now, but I was really scared. Or walking home in the dark, so I would sing out loud , "Heavenly Father, are you really there? And do you hear and answer every child's prayer..." I always felt better and protected. Whether or not I was isn't important. The fact that I knew that song and could song it brought feelings if peace into my heart and I felt safe reminding myself that reality through song. I was not really alone, I was so glad to remember that!

Best Friends

I was given such incredible spirits to be part of my life. A friend pointed this out as evidence that God loves us and is so good.

All of my children are very special, but Joseph is beyond exceptional. He is as good as Brooksie and as smart as Lena. And he verbally loves more even than Gavin, if that is possible, you may wonder. Yes, he tells me alot of the time how much he really loves me and hugs me. Today, when I got hurt he was so worried and is always so kind to me. He likes to make sure I am being cared for. And he seeks to make me happy. Something tells me it is good to remember thus cause when he gets older, like term aged he will he ashamed of ne for the most part.
