It amazes me sometimes how influential your children can be on your life!!
A couple of weeks ago, we are sitting in church..........Madison fiddling with her dress, Chris squirming in his seat, and me sitting and listening diligently <---- hey, its my story, I'll tell how I want! haha
Anyway, we are sitting in sacrament and Madison, who usually pulls out pencils and a pad and begins to draw, pulled out the Book of Mormon instead. With no prompting from anyone, she opened it to the beginning and started to read. Chris and I sat in amazement as she read it the whole service.
I believe the Spirit spoke to Chris' heart that day, because at the beginning of this week, he asked me to come into Madisons room.............. we were going to read the Book of Mormon together as a family - one or two chapters a night, until we were done. Now experience has taught me just to roll with it with my mouth shut and let things play out, so thats what I did. All this week we have read from the Book of Mormon, whether we were tired or busy...................didn't matter.
I feel so thankful for my loving husband that he saw a need that Madison had and is filling it!! As a result, we are all benefiting from the family one-on-one time, and being able to read the scriptures together and discuss them in small doses so that we can all absorb the meanings.
Truly blessed!!
