12*29*13

:: For having time this morning before church to do a craft with my girls. Rainbow looms are the latest craze.

:: For Mark making cinnamon rolls.

:: For Brenner loving his Legos. I love how his face lights up when he tells me about his latest creations and how much thought he's put into the inter workings. Puts a smile on my face.

:: For a wonderful RS lesson on focusing on the 3 hinges (Scriptures, Prayer, Journals) and how simple those things are, yet Satan makes them feel/seem so complicated. I really feel like I need to make these more of my priority and one way to do that is to wake up before the kids to get a majority of that done. I know when I've put these things firsts, I always end up having way more time to do the "extras" in life and I respond better to life.

:: For a lady telling me that the second time we lived with the Lawson's and were in their ward, that she remembers Brightynn coming to church with 50 + hair clips in her hair and me being a young mom and said she was impressed that I would let her come to church like that and knowing that it really doesn't matter. She said that kind of wisdom doesn't usually come until your a grandma and she's told that story many a times.

I had to chuckle because that doesn't sound like me. I do struggle with those situations, especially with Brightynn, about her choice of clothes or hair. I usually don't let her exercise her free agency as much as I should because, it honestly doesn't matter. :0)
