Dearest human's of mine

There will be a point in each of your lives web you must realize the difference between temporary things and eternal things. You are eternal things that are temporarily mine, and I want to arm you with the ability to succeed, but if this is really only a moment compared to the infiniti before us, that doesn't matter so much. That being you are my children. Yes, I love you so deeply, but the most significant person is the one you take to the temple and become one with forever. I have been a terrible mother because I tellyou what I have not done myself. I hope my failure has become an example of what to avoid, so you will not have this trial to live.

Effects of Brittish accents

Joseph is driving Nick crazy from too much time watching videos on YouTube where the pronouciation is distinct from his own. Commonly, he pronounces things with an A as if it were AR, this is usual with Brittish accents and we just deal with it on words like Warsh or Idear. But, my son constantly calls Lava Larvar which sounds like Larvae to my husband who constantly corrects Joe, but I heard it today on a Stampylonghead Minecraft video and it became clear this was having more effect on him than boring old us.

I heard the best idea!

We are going to live out someone else's brilliance for FHE we are going to make  bowl of life saver scriptures. Afterall scriptures are life savers. Then we will mail them to others as a package. The deal is that you only may have one per day, like my mom's advent calenders, and there will be a scripture for that day to read and ponder throughout the day.

Mary fell asleep

After "helping people" she came home and zonked.

I have heard that if you can feel even a portion of the saviors love for someone it will physically exhaust you.

Joseph

Write about the lady in front of us in line at the open house and how he waved at everyone.

Mary at the openhouse

The lines were long and the kids did well. At the conclusion of the evening, we entered a large tent with a statue of the Lord. The whole time Mary was so excited about going to Jesus' house. So, I asked as we were going to the car if she saw Jesus anywhere. She said, "Yes." I asked, "Oh, really? Where?" Without a beat she said, "In the tent."

It was adorable in the Celestial room she stopped and turned to me and said, "Yeah, that's it. Your eyes look amazed. You have beautiful eyes when they sparkle like that."

Skittles?

I am going to do this object lesson that I heard last week to teach my children things I cannot say about tithing. My teacher said that she gave her children ten skittles each and told them to go ahead and eat them as she started her lesson. She taught that we needed to pay one tenth of our increase to God.  And the candy was symbolic. So, they each had ten, she asked for one out of ten of their candy. They told her it would have been easier if they paid it before they started eating it. Brilliant, huh? I am excited to hear what Joseph will teach me.
