Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

Children will Listen!

Elizabeth asked if Glee was on tonight. I said no. It won't be on again until after the Election. She was openly exasperated over that. She stated something along the lines of how stupid it is that we have to miss our shows for this election.

I explained that the election is important. It decides who the next President of our country will be and in turn decides so many things about our future.

I then explained that I feel this election is important enough that I am fasting this Sunday... since it is Fast Sunday. And asking people I know to join me in my fast.

She has asked to join the fast on Sunday.

I agreed that she could. I told her younger sisters that I will not allow THEM to. They are too young.

I don't mean this is any way prideful. However, can you imagine the miracles that could possibly come as David, Myself and our SWEET 9 year old join together to fast for something important to us?

David and I together, ok. Great.

But you add that SWEET, Innocent Baby of Mine!

Angels will be attending to her sweet prayers.

I could NOT be more "Proud" of her right now. And I feel like I've actually made a positive step in her life :-)

What more could a Mother ask for?!
