Another good day.....

Today, has been another good day! I am happy to be with my little man, even when he does hit me! We went to story time today, he really loves books. He was all over the place and listened to maybe three books, but such is the life of a two year old. After, we went to a nearby park, he is getting so indepedent. He was crawling and walking all over everything! Today, I read a talk again out of the Ensign entitled Watching with All Perseverance, it was given by Elder David A. Bednar. It focused on what we as parent can do to ensure our children gain a strong, independent testimony of the gospel. Its a lot of responsibility to take on when you feel like yours can waver so easily. However, it is reassuring to know that these type of talks are out there, so that we can learn what will better our children. The part that strict a cord with me was when Elder Bednar talked about bearing our testimony spontaneously to our children. I can't say,looking back I realize now how often my parents did this for me. They didn't start each spirtual converstation with " I would like to bear my testimony...." But, they did it in the small, sweet, sincer listens they taught me. In watching them treat people they way Christ would treat them, never judging, always helping. They did it in sharing with me a scripture that touched them, or helped them. They did it through letting me know that they were not perfect, through sharing their personal struggles and growth with me. I hope to do that for my own children, I hope they know that I believe in this gospel with all of my heart! If they know anything about me personally I hope it is that!
