Jannica has been working on her Faith in God book for church and has to work through some goals and activities. One of the challenges is that the girl is supposed to give the prayer in Sacrament meeting or FHE and then talk to a leader or parent about it. So, Jac, who is never shy about praying in public had no problem with the first part. She is not a big sharer of private info (or maybe I am not and so we don't talk enough). So, I asked her about prayer and how she felt about it and how praying makes her feel. She told me that she knows when she prays, Heavenly Father is listening. I asked her how she knew and she told me that on days when she is feeling lonely or wondering why she is here with us, she says a prayer in her heart and can feel a warm happy feeling all over her body, like she is being hugged and she knows this is where she is supposed to be.
MY JAC ROCKS!
Ryan and I were planting the garden and we were talking about how seeds grow. She was planting them and talking to them like they were her babies. She was quiet for a minute and then asked if Heavenly Father put her in my tummy. I said "no, he sent your spirit to earth and gave you a big hug and said good luck sweet heart, kissed you on the forhead and sent you to me." She smiled and then said, "Mom, I feel like he is doing that to me right now."
MY RYAN ROCKS!
Man, my girls are so sweet! I am so lucky to have girls that love each other and love their Father in Heaven so much. I know he loves them too, cause his spirit is with them so often.
Just not when they are freaking out over getting in trouble or telling each other they are going to "punch you in the face".
But that is rare, I got it pretty good.
And then came Cameron.......
