Little Ones

Aunty Nisi, Aunty Carol, Aunty Kearston and I visited Kelly Chamberlain's new baby girl! 8 lbs and 6 lbs? Wow! What a sweet spirit! So, precious. So innocent. So serene. It gave me goose bumps watching her tiny fingers and fragile little body. I can't believe that almost a year ago our little Warrior 4 was that tiny. Kelly would take him out when he was fussy as I taught my lesson to my Laurels. Our Warrior 4 will be turning 1 in five days. Can you believe it?

Today while I was prepping my handouts for YW, I came across this quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley. It was shared during the General Conference last month. I love it! I bet when you get to read it you'll end up loving it, too. I especially like the part in the beginning where it says,"NEVER FORGET that these little ones are THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD and that yours is a CUSTODIAL RELATIONSHIP to them...

FATHERS, CONTROL YOUR TEMPERS, NOW AND IN ALL THE YEARS TO COME. MOTHERS, CONTROL YOUR VOICES, KEEP THEM DOWN. Yes, there are always room for improvement. I need to keep my voice down. I need to control my temper. I need to be better.

If we were to get a grade from Heavenly Father I wonder what kind of grade the King and I will be getting? Oh, boy. LOVE and nurture. Take care of the little ones...and even the big ones with all our hearts.
