Parenthood...

{thanks google images}

I am a child of God, 
And he has sent me here,
Has given me and earthly home
With parents kind and dear.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him some day.

I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him some day

I am a child of God. 
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do His will
I'll live with Him once more.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him some day.


I just love this song.  It's so simple that even children can comprehend it's importance.
I am sure, as parents, we have all had the realization that raising children, especially in the world today, is a weighty responsibility.  There are always times when I feel that I am not doing a good enough job, that my kids just don't get it.  Then there are days like we've had lately...

~Since Sunday Mister P has been walking around singing

~Yesterday afternoon I heard Mister P teaching Big Boy B the words to
So, so stinkin' sweet!  

~Sass C has been practicing cursive by writing out the words to "I am a child of God" {above}

~At dinner the other night Mister P told me, "The resurrection was when Jesus died, but then wasn't dead anymore."

~Sass C built The Tree of Life {photo above} out of Lego's.  Complete with an iron rod.
Mister P built a temple.  Complete with an Angel Moroni.  
Wish I would have taken a picture of that!

Days like these I just know, whatever it is I am doing, I am doing it right.  
I learn from my kids everyday the true love of Christ.  They leach me things that I have tried to learn for a lifetime.  

I love you, my crazy kiddos!
