The Sweetest Things

Avery loves to play on the church website version of THE FRIEND magazine. It has games, scripture stories, coloring pages, etc. and it plays primary songs while they play the games. It is so great, you have to check it out. Anyways, Yesterday she was putting together one of the puzzles and asked me about the picture. I told her how some bad guys were trying to burn the printing press where they were making the Book of Commandments and how the 2 girls in the picture knew the importance of the book and tried to save as many pages as they could before the bad guys burned it. She questioned why the bad guys where making bad choices. After we talked for a minute she left the room and came back in a little later with a huge smile on her face and she brought a really peaceful feeling with her. 

    She said 'Mom, you are going to love what I just did. I went in my room and knelt down and   asked Heavenly Father to help the bad guys not be bad any more. And I feel really happy         inside. I want to kneel and say my prayers all the time." 

This is the first time (that I know of ) she has said a personal prayer. I could tell that she had felt the spirit and It was such a "happy mommy moment" to be able to explain to her how the spirit makes us feel happy inside.  I am so thankful for the gospel in our lives and for a loving Heavenly Father who allows all his children, young and old, to feel of His love on a daily basis!!
