The other night as we were getting ready for bed, we were reading out of
My First Book of Mormon Stories.
Lizzie always has to find the story with Jesus in it. As she found it, she kept saying "Awe, I love MY Jesus" and started hugging the book. It made me realize how much children can be examples to their parents. How much does my Book of Mormon mean to me?
Do I love it enough to physically hug it. I'm I grateful enough for it and my Savior to publicly announce it? Am I strong enough to share what I know with my friends? I hope that I am, or can continue to strive to be. Children are amazing!
On a side note, they also have the ability to boost your ego at the perfect time. I'm sitting on the couch, feeling bad for myself, and thinking about the great task ahead of me... losing a lot of weight while taking care of too kids. As I was sitting there, Lizzie pulled out my wedding photo album. As she was looking at the pictures, she kept pointing to pictures of me and saying, "Princess Mommy." It made me feel so good that my daughter thought I looked like a princess, and also has totally motivated me to look like that again.
So there you go, in less then a week, my almost two-year-old has made me want to be better Spiritually and Physically. Children are amazing, all I can say, is "I love MY Lizzie!"
